Courage Is Not The Absence Of Fear
If you think that someone who shows courage is someone who doesn’t feel fear, you are wrong. A courageous person is not one who is not afraid of anything, but rather one who is able to overcome his fears.
Never forget that fear is a powerful force that plays a prominent role in many aspects of life. It is therefore extremely important to always be alert and aware. After all, life is constantly presenting us with new opportunities that can breed fear and apprehension. It takes courage to seize these opportunities and to overcome the unknown and terrifying.
The power of fear
Fear itself is a terrifying force. It is a feeling capable of intimidating us. It is a natural force that can flow over us and make us stiff. It can bring us to a standstill when we fear what people will say, fear what will happen, or fear the pain of loss.
However, despite the power of fear, there have been many people throughout history who have been able to confront their most intimate fears and show the courage it takes to move forward. There are stories of those who showed such courage, despite having much to lose, and who risked their lives in the process.
The courage to face your fears
To enter the stormy waters of the river of life, it is important that we are able to overcome our personal fears. But there is only one way to do this. We must be brave enough to confront and deal with them. Only a person who is able to look their fears straight in the eye and learn to rise above them will know a completely happy life.
We should never think that there are people who do not experience fear. It is a natural feeling that is inherent in man. We have all experienced it at some point in our lives. A courageous person is not one who knows no fear, but rather one who has overcome his fear.
Therefore, when we observe courageous people, even when they act risky or daringly, we must keep in mind that they are still just people who may feel fear deep down. At the same time, they are people who overpower and overcome their fears and in the meantime are able to leave them behind.
Daily fears
Today there are many scary things that we have to face. Who isn’t afraid of losing their job? Who is not afraid that something bad will happen to a loved one? Who wouldn’t be at least a little panicked about the possible consequences when the time comes when we have to raise our voices?
A series of fears are instilled in us through subliminal, daily messages. We fear certain types of communication, such as a heated and tense conversation in a bar or a speech that triggers strong emotions. These things make us forget our courage and the fact that we can confront and overcome these difficult situations.
Only by overcoming all fear will we be able to feel good about ourselves. It’s the only way we can become the person we’ve always wanted to be, the person we are at our core. It is the only way we can glimpse the true happiness of life when we come face to face with that which causes us stress and panic.
Our inability to overcome that which terrorizes and paralyzes our soul prevents us from moving freely through life. If we are not brave enough to overcome failure or adversity, we cannot live our true passion.
Don’t lose courage. Carry your courage with you every day. Remember that your life is valuable. Your voice deserves to be heard. Your courage is a big part of who you are as a person, so face your fears with courage every day. Hold your head up to demonstrate your pride and strength.
Use all the courage you have to confront your fears. The only thing scarier than our fears is the possibility that we can’t be ourselves. Only courage can defeat our greatest fears.
