What is the deeper meaning of the word 'courage?'

Starting with the letter C, the word: ‘Courage’.

The word ‘courage’ is explained as follows in The Positive Dictionary:

Courage: Display courage in moments of danger. * To be courageous is to be brave and fearless.

Courage is normally associated with dangerous situations, for example when someone disregards his or her own safety to save a life.

Courage, however, entails far more than physical fearlessness. Courage is needed to overcome difficult situations and setbacks in our lives. Courage is also needed in the small steps that we take in our every day lives.

Courage is displayed:

• when we say what we mean and mean what we say;

• when we say ‘thank you, but no thank you’ when requested to do something for which we do not have time to do it properly; • when we stand up to defend our values;

• when we keep smiling when in pain;

• when we stop procrastinating something that has to be done;

• when we start with a new project;

• when we say ‘I am sorry.’
