I think that courage can be expressed in a lot of different ways. There is the quiet courage of standing firm in your beliefs even when everyone around you is wavering. There is also the bold type of courage that is speaking out when you see someone hurting others. I thought of these two examples very easily, and there are many more. My point is, I want to have a bit of all kinds of courage. There are lots of quotes about courage, and they boil down to this: courage is doing something even though you’re afraid. Therefore, in order to be courageous, you have to feel fear. So I clearly have a lot of potential to be courageous, if I can learn not to let fear control me. That is my hope for this year.
