Many individuals may carry in mind the heroic deeds of a fabled dragon slayer as an example of courage. So what exactly is courage?
To begin with, everyone aspires to be courageous. It’s a quality of good character that establishes our respectability. In our books and entertainment, there are several accounts of bravery. Our culture is full of inspiring tales of valor and self-sacrifice for the greater good, from the Bible to fairy tales, ancient mythology to Hollywood films. Children are raised on a diet of heroic and inspirational stories, from the cowardly lion in The Wizard of Oz who summons the bravery to face the witch to David fighting Goliath in the Bible to Star Wars and Harry Potter.
Yet courage goes beyond just bravery of the body. History books are full of vivid stories about social reformers who choose to speak out against injustice despite considerable personal risk, like Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. Entrepreneurs who take financial risks to follow their passions and invent, like Steve Jobs and Walt Disney, are like modern-day knights who serve as examples of the benefits and recognition that courage can bring. There are various kinds of courage, from physical toughness and endurance to cerebral fortitude and inventiveness.
It is about the numerous internal battles we fight on a daily basis to uphold our moral principles, speak out against unpopular opinion, and conquer our own fears.
The self hypnosis download, Develop Personal Courage, addresses the full meaning of courage.
Courage is about speaking and acting your truth, no matter how uncomfortable it makes you feel.
I would even go as far to say that there is no personal growth without the exercise of courage.
And perhaps we’re in danger as a society, with all our safe spaces and trigger warnings, of raising people who can’t stand any discomfort at all, and that would be a great tragedy for humanity.
Think for 20 seconds what you would do in your life if your level of courage was doubled overnight. How would you feel? What would you achieve?
Our download Develop Personal Courage helps you exercise your courage muscle within your mind, so when the time comes for real courage, it’s there waiting for you.
To courage, bravery and other uplifting old-fashioned words,
