Courage is not the absence of fear. It is, rather, the total presence of fear, with the courage to face it.
Having courage is more than just heroic acts in exceptional circumstances. It’s a necessity to lead authentic and fulfilling lives on a day-to-day basis. This is the courage to change when change is needed, the courage to stand up for our own truth, even against the opinions of others, and the courage to embrace the unknown in spite of our fears―in our relationships, in our careers, or in the ongoing journey of understanding who we are and why we are here.
Let Rekha share her life experience with you all:
I am a single person and stay alone. This is my decision. Earlier in life, many used to say to get married else life is tough. There were times when I used to get a bit worried. But no longer the inner peace and the faith on the inner bring not only keep me going but enjoy the journey call life. The fact that I am alone never bothered me. The source of courage, company, strength is within me-my higher self.
To accept the challenge of the unknown in spite of all fears, is courage. The fears are there, but if you go on accepting the challenge again and again, slowly slowly those fears disappear. The experience of the joy that the unknown brings, the great ecstasy that starts happening with the unknown, makes you strong enough, gives you a certain integrity, makes your intelligence sharp. For the first time you start feeling that life is not just a boredom but an adventure. Then slowly slowly fears disappear; then you are always seeking and searching for some adventure. Courage is risking the known for the unknown, the familiar for the unfamiliar some unknown destination. One never knows whether one will be able to make it or not. It is gambling, but only the gamblers know what life is.
