Courage to me is doing something daring, no matter how afraid, insecure, intimidated, alone, unworthy, incapable, ridiculed or whatever other paralyzing emotion you might feel. Courage is taking action....no matter what.  So you're afraid? Be afraid.  Be scared silly to the point you're trembling and nauseous, but do it anyway!

Friends are the real superheroes. They battle our worst enemies—loneliness, grief, anxiety, depression, fear, and doubt—every time they come around.

Relax; the world's not watching that closely. It's too busy contemplating itself in the mirror.

Two powerful, little words I've learned to use when facing challenges, fears, and doubts—so what?

Laughing in the face of danger doesn't negate the fear, it simply enables you to smile at it.

Mystery, why so attractive to me?You blind me with fear, place hope on my tongue, and with a cold kiss draw me forward. Wary and trembling, I follow.

Battles of the hardest kindAre never fought by hand.They rage and fume inside the mind,And slay the inner man.Weapons that destroy a foeElicit fear and pain.More violent is internal warThat ravages the brain.

Fear is not something easily shrugged off; it hangs on its prey like a heavy cloak threatening to choke and weigh down the wearer. Despite fear’s awful hindering effects, we must dare to behave boldly in its presence. For boldness is one of the few weapons that can convince fear to loosen its grip.
