Gaining Courage: You Will Never Be Able To Be Fearless
It is impossible to live without fear and quite unnatural.
But being afraid does not mean you have to stay stuck due to that fear
You can be terrified of the future, terrified of the negatives, terrified of what you may miss, what you may lose or what you may never get and still move forward.
To be fair, in my opinion this is the most admirable trait in people, and the hardest one to develop: The ability to move forward despite all the reasons, feelings and ideas of why you shouldn’t.
Because the thing is that by moving forward you allow yourself to be vulnerable.
You dive forward into the unknown, into the danger, and into the very possible hurt.
That is something most people are not stupid enough to do and requires both courage and a certain lack of reason.
Ironically, however, this is also the best way to move into a more positive life, as there is no way to truly live a life without fear.
Pain is a constant companion in life, just like fear, worry and problems.
There is nothing that will remedy those or prevent them entirely, but if you move forward you can stack your fight against them.
