"What a new Face
Courage puts on Everything."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Courage Quotes:
Courage consists, not
in blindly overlooking
danger, but in seeing and conquering it.
- Richter
Fear is created not by
the world around us,
but in the mind, by what we think is going to
happen.
-Elizabeth Gawain
A coward flees backward, away from new
things. A man of courage moves vigorously
forward toward new things.
- Jacques Maritain
It is an error to
suppose that courage means
courage in everything - most people are brave
only in the dangers to which they accustom
themselves, either in imagination or practice.
- Bulwer

"The
Courage to Be Yourself"
- By
Sue Patton Thoele
"The good news about learned fear is that it can
be
unlearned.
No
matter what our past, we can experience
the deep truth that life and relationships need not be
fear-filled. We do not consist of our fear; we merely
experience it.
Thus we can learn step by step to see fear not as
something that we are but something that we have.
For example, you may have at times told yourself, I'm
such a coward! Not true! Never accept a definition
of yourself that identifies you as your fear.
Here's an exercise in
disidentification: The next time
you're aware of feeling afraid, acknowledge what you
fear, accept that it's a fact of your being at the moment,
and then repeat several times to yourself: I have a fear
of (heights, failure, oysters, etc.) but I am not this fear!
Think of some sentences that appeal to you as an
accurate definition of who you are. For example:
"I have a fear of rejection. But I am not that fear.
I
am a beautiful, unique soul created in God's image.
I am O.K. exactly as I am."
- Susan Patton Thoel
