Posted by How do you find courage and be more courageous? For many, courage is just facing fear. That is a part of it, but courage is more than that. True courage involves taking action when there is fear, risk, and a reason to act.
What does courage mean to you?
Your actions define your life, and a lot of times, it takes courage to act. So how do you find that courage to act? How do you know what to do?
Here’s a thought exercise: Imagine your best self 10 years in the future. This version of you is wildly successful, more so than you ever think you could be right now.
Now imagine you met this future self today. With your current situation, what would this version of yourself tell you to do? Take a moment to consider this. This is what you should do! I learned this from reading High Performance Habits
Now back to finding the courage to act. Courage is about your virtues. You need a reason to act to be courageous, and this reason comes from your virtues. So be clear with yourself on what your values are and what your integrity is worth to you.
Clarifying your values in your mind before hand will empower you to take action in the moment when you need courage. Overall, this is how you find the strength to act with courage when you need it.
We all have fear, but making a clear decision to be true to your virtues before you are in the heat of the moment will enable you to act despite your fear or risk.

The key is knowing and being true to yourself!
