The process of growing and learning always involves risks. Courage comes from the reserves of your mind that are much more powerful then your outside circumstances. When you realize you are bigger than your problems, you gain the courage necessary to overcome them. Courage is the power to face difficulties. Obstacles will always look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small.
Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined.
It gives you the ability to rise above reality. See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Overcoming obstacles is the price of achievement, the price of success. I was originally sucked off the highway by a passing tractor-trailer. The suction created pulled me out under his trailer wheels.
