Courage

"Courage! Do not be afraid!"


When we enter a dark hallway alone, we take quick glances left and right, then walk quickly through (praying every second) until we reach the lighted area. Then we breathed in a breath of relief, glad that there was nothing eerie happening on the way..

This is one of the many times we need to have courage. There are other times where others will remind us to "Take courage, don't be afraid." It can be a wrong accusation against you for stealing, or any situations where you feel the fear surrounding you.

Not many people has the true courage where they fear nothing. One must surely fear at least one thing - own mother, phobia, and so forth. Each person has been afraid before. But in these situations, where does our courage go to?

Indeed it is in these kind of fearful moments that we need to find our lost courage and bring it back into our selves. If everyone were to let their courage run loose, fear will certainly take over everyone's lives. We must play our own part and bring courage back in our own midst.

How is that so? Remind yourself in those fearful moments that the fear is just something small. Then tell yourself that courage is something so big that you can't see it till you can't find where it is; yet you know it is there somewhere. If you have a religion, trust in what your religion teaches you about courage. God is BIG and He will always be there to crush the small fear. At times we can't find God because he is just TOO big for us to see! but we can be rest assured that He is there.

So the next time you face fear in life, call upon your courage and you will experience from there how life is not fearful after all.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others. - Winston Churchill
