What is Courage?

Standing up for what you believe in is Courage.
Willing to actually listen to the other side and giving in when possible is Courage.
Helping those that cannot speak out for themselves is Courage.

Our earlier post on  ' Then They Came For Me" is about the courage to speak out and help.
Too many of us stay silent because we are afraid and it may not effect us and we feel if we do speak out it will only raise our head and put US in the light.
That is ok until it is you that is targeted or ridiculed or treated unfairly.
Then we look around and wonder why others are helping you or trying to stop an obvious injustice.

Courage comes from within, from your core believe in something.
You always must try to find the bridge and a way to stand tall without knocking others down.
That is the tricky part.

Courage is not being the bully or yelling the loudest, that only separates and divides.
You must try all angles and speak softly and reason whenever possible.
Sometimes that is easier said then done.
If you have exhausted all your ideas and resources and need to take it to the next level try to always keep in business like and not personal.
Personal revenge is ugly and will not gain you any popularity.

Do what it is necessary and move on, always with forgiveness in your heart.

That is Courage.
