All other virtues depend on courage in their execution.
To some extent, all worthwhile endeavors require going against the status quo or doing something difficult. This requires bravery.
Being a courageous politician sometimes means opposing a tyrannical leader, even if that figure has mass appeal. But doing the right thing requires courage in this case.
Acting justly (i.e., doing the right thing) is often unpopular. (How depressing!)
Persisting in the face of opposition requires courage.
Doing the right thing often requires someone “going first,’ also known as leading! You must be courageous to lead, as you must be willing to fail.

Courage is one of my favorite words . . . . and one of my favorite powers . . . .
It’s not an onamonapia effect . . . . It doesn’t sizzle like “sizzle,” but to say it or think it or pray it almost immediately brings it into being . . . .
Courage . . . . It’s a heart word.
Thanks for bringing it up today.

I love this. Did you know that “courage” actually comes from a latin root word that means “heart”?! It’s the same root where Spanish speakers get “corazón” 🙂
