Courage is the ability to continue moving forward even in the face of challenge, adversity, and fear.
Without fear, there could be no bravery. So being courageous is largely about managing fear the best you can and still taking the best action available to you.
These strategies will help you develop the courage to tackle your fears:
1. Decide that you're going to conquer your fears. The simple act of making a decision means you've cut yourself off from all other possibilities. So tell yourself that you're going to tackle your fears one at a time.
2. Accept the fact that there will be some fear. Fear can frequently be decreased, but sometimes not completely eliminated. Remember that living courageously means dealing with some level of fear but going forward anyway.
3. Develop the idea that fear isn't a good excuse to avoid doing something. Unless you're going to fall off a cliff, being afraid is an ineffective way of choosing your course of action. If you get into the habit of not acting due to fear, continuing on that path only becomes easier.
4. Ask yourself, "What's the worst that can happen?" Many times your knee-jerk reaction is to feel fear in a given situation, but you might find out the worst that can happen isn't that bad.
5. Recognize that feelings of fear and excitement are very closely related. Try telling yourself you're just really excited the next time you take action to do something on your list.
You can live courageously. Put the above plan into action today. The key is to start small and move forward from there. Remember that being courageous is all about taking action in spite of fear, not the absence of fear. There's no time like the present to cultivate your courage.
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear."
– Mark Twain
