Courage is not when you face what’s in front of you, while being fully armed.
Courage is not when you face what’s in front of you, when you know you have everything needed to win.
Courage is not when you face what’s in front of you, when you are feeling the best about yourself.
That isn’t courage.
Maybe that’s the feeling of being powerful.
Maybe that’s the feeling of being ambitious.
Maybe that’s the feeling of optimism.
But it isn’t courage.
Courage is when you face what’s in front of you, knowing that you are weaker.
Courage is when you face what’s in front of you, knowing you don’t have everything that’s needed to win.
Courage is when you face what’s in front of you, with self doubt.
Courage
Is when you face what’s in front of you
Because that’s the only option you have given yourself.
Because not showing up
Is not you.
Hi Ankur,
The underlying thought of your article is so similar to the one in the book ‘Grit’ by Angela Duckworth. Courage and persistence are the traits of individuals who are successful in the real sense.
Lovely article! Thank you.
Nicely written, Ankur! Gave me the courage I really needed today :)
All the best Abhishek :)
