On fear and courage

"Courage is the mastery of fear, not the absence of fear."

It's fairly easy to avoid (or back down from) the things that scare us, and quite frankly it's totally understandable. If you deem yourself fearless, then congratulations I guess. Now what? To acknowledge what you're truly afraid of, and then proceed to stand up to it- stare it right in the face- now that's real courage. I'd like to think that most of us become more courageous as we get older.

You ready? You might surprise yourself.
