Courage cannot be left like bones in a bag. It must be brought out and shown the light again and again, growing stronger each time. If you think it will keep for the times you need it, you are wrong. It is like any other part of your strength. If you ignore it, the bag will be empty when you need it most. Conn Iggulden
About This Quote

No matter how scary, difficult or painful it may be, courage is another part of your strength. You may think that it will keep for the times you need it, but it won’t. Your courage will disappear if you do not train it. This can be put to use in many ways.

If you are ever afraid, try to remind yourself that courage is another part of your strength. As long as you are willing to face your fears, then you are capable of doing anything. Just like any other muscle in your body, it needs to be worked out every so often to keep its strength and flexibility.
