Calling Yourself A Courageous Person Does Not Make You One. Here is Why

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Courage is life. It is the way. If you want to experience a new life, a different life, courage is the way. You have got to think courageous thoughts. You have got to live like a courageous person. And you have got to embrace courage.

The question is, ‘Are you a courageous person?’ Because a courageous person is a person who is not afraid to say ‘yes’ to life, who is not afraid to stand up for something bigger, who is not afraid to stand up for others, even when it is not comfortable.

But calling yourself a courageous person does not make you one. Why is that? Because courage does not talk. Courage acts. Courage does not believe in words. Courage believes in actions.

You are a courageous person when you know what is going on around you, when you are not afraid to say, ‘enough is enough.’

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to leave your blood-sucking job, when you have the courage to leave your life-taking relationship.

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to ask for what you want, to take care of yourself, to believe in your life.

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to follow your heart, even when other people are not comfortable with your decision.

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to think for yourself, to be an independent thinker.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to question what you do not understand?’

This Is When You Need Courage

Courage is not about doing what you know really well. Courage is about going after what you do not know, with the little that you know.

When you are courageous, you are not afraid to do what you are put here on earth to do. You are not afraid to live for yourself, to develop yourself, to make mistakes, to fail, to fall like a baby.

Courage is about what you do not know. It is not about what you know. If you do not know something, no matter what that thing is, you need courage to face it.

But if you have already dealt with something in the past, you do not need a full load of courage to face it. Because you have done it before.

It does not make you an expert. Because you still have a lot of learning to do.

You are familiar with it. You now know how to do it.

That is why you should NEVER give up, especially when you are doing something for the first time.

Before you do, before you run away, before you give up, remember this: ‘Great things are hard at first.’
