Superman does not need courage to defeat the enemy because he is invulnerable to bullets. He knows he won't get hurt. On the other hand, a normal soldier needs a lot of courage to take down the enemy. He knows he can lose his life going against this enemy. Courage is when the soldier decides to fight the enemy even if he is shaking in his boots.
You don't need courage in front of a tree. You need courage in front of a bully. Courage can only be practiced under fire.
Courage is not the absence of fear. It is overcoming your fear in front of danger. It is also taking a risk for the sake of the good.
You can never pursue your dreams without courage. Only courage can silence our fears. A lot of people have been crippled because of their fear of failure and getting hurt. Fear continually robs them of their dreams. Fear has made them mediocre, helpless and worst, hopeless.
Only courageous people can go against the river, cowards are swept away.
Courage can make the difference between your mediocrity and greatness.
You can never be great sitting on your butt waiting for the perfectly safe moment or opportunity before you act. It will never happen.
You need to have the courage to take risks if you want to go anywhere in life.
"If you don't take risks for God, you won't give anything worthwhile." - St Louis de Montfort
Mountain climbers risk their own safety to see the beautiful view at the peak. It is the same for us. If we want to go beyond mediocrity and experience the peak of life, we must be courageous. We must risk.
Will you have the courage to live life to the full?
