What is Courage?

Written By: Vickie Jimenez - May• 02•11

What-is-courageWhat exactly is courage? Of all the human interaction you can have, courage appears to have a wider definition because of how it shows up inside you in the moment that expands the definition.

Courage can be saying “yes” or “no” in the moment. Courage can be answering your inner call. Courage can be opening your heart or finally having enough respect for yourself to leave an abusive relationship.

Courage is essentially you, making a decision to confront an aspect of your comfort zone and moving through it in the moment. You are making a decision and following an inner intuition and your intellect.

 Self appreciation and massive action

It is within this courage that we develop self appreciation and that can turn into self esteem over time. For me, courage not only has that element of following your intuition and intellect but also an instant commitment to massive action. This action seems effortless after courage has taken over. But the true question about courage is… how do you access it when you want it? This is so important to know because it will help you through challenging times or decisions.

what-is-courageI think courage is something that must be explored as we look at our future as a world. When we look at what has happened so far in the first quarter of 2011 we can see that New Zealand, Australia, Japan, the USA and essentially the world is going through some huge changes that will require us to have courage. Gentle courage, peaceful courage, discerning courage and loving courage to live together and stand in a world where we are going to need the courage to unify, work together and share ideas, resources and diversity.

 Genuine respect

Courage helps us have a better tomorrow. Courage allows us to express our love. When you display courage by being courageous in front of others, you may not garner immediate respect from all those around you, but over time they will respect you if it is genuine. Courage helps us unleash our inner power and to access courage in each moment, you must be authentic with yourself in each moment and follow your inner guidance and intellect.
