Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear — not absence of fear.

We often define courage as the ability to face and overcome fear. It is not about being completely free of fear, but about being able to confront and deal with it effectively. Fear is a natural emotion that everyone experiences, and it can serve as a helpful warning sign in certain situations.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to confront and overcome fear in the face of challenges or adversity. It takes courage to stand up for what one believes in, to speak out against injustice, or to face difficult or dangerous situations. Courage involves taking risks and facing uncertainty, even when we feel afraid. It is an important quality that can help us achieve our goals and live our lives to the fullest.

However, when fear becomes overwhelming or debilitating, it can hold us back and prevent us from taking action. Courage allows us to push through this fear and take the steps to achieve our goals or do what needs to be done, even if it means facing challenges or taking risks.

However, it is important to recognize that bravery does not mean the absence of fear. It is natural for people to feel fear in difficult or dangerous situations, and bravery often involves overcoming that fear and acting despite it. Some people might even argue that true bravery involves acknowledging and accepting fear but still choosing to act with courage.
