Courage

I was thinking about my fear immobilizing me from taking any action to making my life better. Just as I'm about to jump over the chasm to the other side I find myself tripping and falling into it.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary courage is defined as 'mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty'. Another thing that it says is the word's origins is from Latin cor - Heart.

Yes, this is something that I seem to have deserted quite a long time ago without even realizing it. Here's to a new rediscovery of this trait with many others so that my life become more enriching and satisfying.

TO COURAGE!


Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear.

Mark Twain



Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.

Dan Rather
