Courage come in so many forms. We all understand bravery where someone risks their life for someone else. This is a beautiful gesture and very commendable. As a mother I would give my life for my children. I would literally jump in front of a bus if that could save them.
A different kind of courage is to be yourself, and not to follow others like sheep. The courage to think differently and not be like most people here on earth just following a lead.
This might be perceived as stubbornness to many but from my point of view it is nothing but honesty.
In my being, as a person, I am very honest about how I feel about certain things, and it takes a lot of courage to stand against certain things in life. This has nothing to do with being better, feeling superior, being angry or judgmental towards others.
This is merely the fact that you have the courage to stand up for yourself and for others who are not able to do so.
There are plenty of people who don't have this courage. When many fail to see the bigger picture, are you willing to stand up for them? If they don't see the light, will you have the courage to show them the way?
We live in very uncertain times, and the world is already upside down. Make your stand and be there for someone else. Even if you only support and guide them in the right direction, together we can change the world.
Being courageous is important not only for yourself, but for your children, too! They will grow knowing what courage is and how to stand up for themselves, too.
Courage is not the absence of fear but rather standing your grounds in the face of fear
