Courage

Courage means that even though you may be scared to death you move forward anyway. You face your fear head on. You take a risk and step out into unknown territory. You have no guarantee of the outcome. You believe in yourself despite what others may think, say, or do.

Courage is the confidence you have. It's the assurance that what you are doing is the right thing to do. You have conviction. You have purpose. You have direction and focus. You are set to accomplish a certain mission or task. You are set on seeing it through, despite the obstacles.

Courage is the act of being brave, bold, and even audacious. In your mind you are ready to stand ground, brace up, hold out, and present a bold front. You have done your homework, you have counted the cost, and the decision has been made. You are prepared to accept the consequences and take responsibilities

Courage is knowing that your decision to move ahead will be good for you, because no matter what happens, you will learn from it. Whether positive or negative, you will gain. The courage you take will also be good for others, because we don't live in a vacume, and our behaviors do influence others. You will be teaching others to have courage as they battle through their own obstacles.

Courage is a character quality that will lift you, teach you, and empower you.
