Courage is when you to face
danger or pain or grief with
strength.
To have courage is to be
brave.
It is the ability to
confront Fear, Pain, Risk,
Danger, Uncertainty or
Intimidation.
Life has its struggles and
battles but it is how you live
life that counts.
“One is not necessarily born
with courage, but one is born
with potential. Without
courage, we cannot practice
any other value or virtue with
consistency. We cannot be
kind, true, merciful, generous,
or honest.” Maya
Angelou
Courage is the mental
muscle that conquers fear.
Like all muscles, the more
you use them the stronger
they
become.
Courage is not something you are born with, it must be
developed.
Individuals, who fail to develop courage, remain confined in
mental prisons and face each day as mental
lightweights.
“Success is not measured by what you
accomplish but by the opposition you
have encountered, and the courage
with which you have maintained the
struggle against overwhelming odds."
Orison Swett
Marden
Courage is a very important component of
growing up. It is required in the very
decisive moments of life and in day-to-
day affairs.
Life exposes people to risks, setbacks
and challenges. Overcoming these events
demands that a person exercise
knowledge, reason and, most of all,
courage.
While the other cognitive resources are
essential, consciously developing courage
is crucial to personal success.
"Whatever you do, you need courage.
Whatever course you decide upon, there is
always someone to tell you that you are
wrong. There are always difficulties arising
that tempt you to believe your critics are
right. To map out a course of action and
follow it to an end requires some of the
same courage that a soldier needs. Peace
has its victories, but it takes brave men and
women to win them."
Ralph Waldo
Emerson
When fears creep in, that is where your courage
has to be your guiding light and your power. As
a matter of fact, at times, when all appears to
be hopeless, you will only have your courage to
help drive you to the next step on your journey
to success.
Lack of courage gets in the way of success for
everyone, young and old, poor and rich, sick and
healthy.
Every single person can live more life and
experience greater things, if they will just live
with more courage.
"People do not know how much
potential actually they have. In fact,
if they live out their lives with their
true potential, they can do wonders
but it required courage to self-
reliance to meet most problems,
even a big crisis.“
Syed Imtiaz
Hussain
The Origins of FEAR
The development of courage
begins with understanding the
psychological origins of fear.
The newborn child has only two
fears; the fear of falling and the
fear of loud noises.
All other fears that we
experience as adults are
learned as we are growing up,
primarily as the result of well-
meaning but destructive
criticism from our parents.
How FEAR Develop
When the curious child gets into
things and makes a mess, the
parent scolds and punishes the
child, eventually building up a
pattern of fear connected with
trying or getting into anything
new or different.
As adults, we experience this as
the fear of failure, the fear of
risking, of making a mistake, of
losing.
Who has Courage?
Anyone can have courage.
Some people show
courage at work.
Some people show
courage when they are
having fun.
Imagine the courage it
takes to climb the
highest mountains in
the world …
Imagine being the
youngest person to sail
alone across the Pacific
Ocean and being by
yourself for 54 days.

How to Develop COURAGE
Courageous people are
courageous because they know
they can do it and are prepared to
do it, or they feel the fear and
do it
anyway.
It is not a way of being, and it is
not about who you are; it is a
decision.
Develop Faith & Confi dence
A large part of developing
courage is having faith in
yourself, faith in a higher power
and faith that things will work
out.
This type of confidence comes
from maintaining a positive
attitude and visualizing a
favorable outcome.
A courageous mindset is the
product of faith, self-confidence
and positive thinking.
Focus on your Strengths Instead of your
WEAKNESS
Try to remind yourselves of the
things that you can do well.
Look at the bright side of your life.
There are definitely many things in
your favor, even when you are
going through the worst period in
your life.
Look around you and notice
what you do have, such as
family, friends, health, education,
etc. When was the last time you
looked at the things that were
going for you, instead of, looking
at all the misfortunes in your life?
Start Working on SOLUTION
Now that you became brave
enough to tear down your
defenses and to look your
problems straight in the eye its
time to find a solution for these
problems
Be PERSISTENT
The old saying that a “Winner
Never Quits and a Quitter Never
Wins" is very true.
Life with its multiple problems can
be rounds for victory for the self-
determined, self-motivated, and
hard working individuals.
All Great Things begin with a
Single Uncertain STEP.
True Character does not
Develop in a World without
Challenge or Change.
You must Step Forward
Bravely in order to Grow.
Challenge YOUR Character.
