Courage

Courage is resistance of fear, mastery of fear; not the absence of fear.
-Mark Twain

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
-Walt Disney

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
-Eleanor Roosevelt


Sometimes life is hard.
Right?

Sometimes we are scared.
Right?

Sometimes you just want to be happy.
Right?

No matter how hard life is, or how scared we might be to face something- we can find that happiness. We need courage. Take it, honor it, hold it close to your heart. It will not fail you if you hold tight.

We all have the potential to succeed, to face the most important things in our lives and go far beyond the expectations. Why don't we? Fear settles in quite comfortably in quite the quick fashion. Sometimes we don't even hear him enter in. Sometimes, though, we notice he's making a home out of our heads, and we just don't want to bother him by saying anything to him. 

Wait... Did I just say that? Confront a stranger? Get rid of an intruder? Psh, who in their right mind would want to get rid of someone breaking, entering, and making a home out of yours without consent? .... Isn't that illegal?

Well it's just as illegal in your head. The first step to getting rid of fear and standing up for what you believe is having the courage to say something. Courage, like Mark Twain said, isn't the absence of fear, but resisting it. Fight fear by doing what you know is right and showing others what you believe. 

Have that courage to be happy.
That is all.
