Ronnie – Thanks a lot! I think you are right – there are a lot of things that people know, but don’t always do.

Hope to see you around again!

This is definitely an awesome post Amanda. I love your way with words; makes it extremely easy to understand these kinds of topics!

“Courage Supports Growth, Fear Supports Stagnation”. That is huge. It’s amazing how many people know this, yet they never actually practice it daily.

I look forward to reading more of your writings, keep it up!

I agree that if there is a group that is standing up for something, then they would be brought very close together. I just meant that these is very little of it in the world these days. Most people won’t stand up for themselves or what they believe in, and when they see someone who does, more often than not, they label that person a troublemaker.

Mandro – Sorry! I just hadn’t moderated it yet. Courage does require standing alone sometimes, although I think it also brings you closer to the people around you too.

Lance – Yeah, awesome things do happen with courage!

Avani – Choosing life is difficult, but always rewarding.

“While courage is feeling pain and understanding that you can still survive, fear is avoiding pain and realizing that you are no longer living.”

Wow. That’s so profound. And so true. In acts of courage, what we are saying is that I am still alive and not broken down. I choose living.

“Along the path of our life, our fears are locked gates that stand in our way. Courage is the key that unlocks the gate so you can continue on your way. What’s great is that the key is always with you, but if you choose not to use it you will be stuck, never continuing along past the gate.”

I love that Amanda. It is amazingly true. Sometimes we have to dig deep in the the pockets of our brain or heart to find those keys. But when we do, awesome things can happen!

Yes… There are two problems though. Often the courageous are all alone, they often don’t even have the backing of the very people they are standing up for. And quite often, they don’t survive…

The reason that courage is such a hard choice to make is because courage always involves some kind of pain. While courage is feeling pain and understanding that you can still survive,
