“Courage
is not the absence of fear,”
but rather bringing your fear into submission,
taming the lion within
while you pursue an ambition,
or complete a task.
It does not mean that one will
not go through some pain.
It does not mean one will
not go through some period of sorrow.
It does not mean one will
not find a thousand excuses
why he should “give in.”
It just means he clings to the one excuse
and holds it close to his heart
of why he shouldn’t.
Courage.
