When you hear courage, what do you think? Do you consider yourself a courageous individual?
For me, courage is facing the fear. Courage is acting on what you believe to be right. Not because Joe and Bob say so, but because you know it in your heart that it is true. Courage is knowing that you have failed one-thousand and one times but you are still willing to try. Courage is knowing that you can be hurt but still giving it a go.
Beyond this, I believe that each and everyone of us is a courageous individual and we should recognise that. Each and everyone of us as a baggage. We may smile, but behind that smile is an insecurity - either it being of rejection, not being good enough - you name it. You may not want to acknowledge it, but it is there. We have all lived and life is not perfect - but it is beautiful.
And with this baggage on your back, you still have the courage to live each day as it comes. You still go to work, go to university - you still carry on with life. You know that it may hurt you, that things may go wrong. But you carry on. As simple as the act may sound, I think that it is admirable. Each and everyone one of us carries on with life, trying to find our coping mechanism. Each and everyone one of us faces our fears (whether by force of life, or because of our decision) and we carry on with life.
Sometimes we need to give ourselves more credit than we do. We all have our baggage and we all try our best. None of us know what life holds for us, but we still get out of bed every morning and face reality. We, then, are all courageous.
