Courage isn’t the absence of fear but taking action even though fear is present. Courage is understanding what is at risk and doing it anyway. Courageous action is the willingness to risk.

But where does willingness come from? It seems like I either have it, or I don’t. I’ve concluded that I am incapable of growing or manufacturing it. My experience is that willingness is a byproduct of my clarity. I can’t grow willingness, but I do have more of it when I develop clarity.

Courage is the expression of the quality of clarity.

Is it indicated to express or develop your clarity?
