When I was younger, I believed courage meant not being afraid. I didn’t understand how people could have no fear. How did they get rid of it, or just not have it in the first place??

I’ve learned that courage is actually the ability to act even though you’re afraid. It’s not being fearless. It’s the ability to take action in the face of fear.
