To me, courage is the act of vulnerability. It is decisions made without your ego. It is telling your loved one that you’re upset. It is admitting that you don’t have all the answers. It’s allowing yourself to cry, feel afraid, and experience pain. It’s opening yourself up to fear, but with knees shaking and arms trembling you do it anyway. When you stand in the presence of a courageous person, you do not feel afraid, inferior or apologetic, you feel brighter in their light. Courage is a source of inspiration.
