Courage is just dreams with shoes on.

Reba Riley
About This Quote

As children, we are taught that courage is something to be protected, not something to be used. We are told that dreams are to be protected. It doesn’t matter that they are out of reach, because it is what you do once you have achieved your dreams that matters. The courage to go for the dream is what makes us great.

Courage is something to protect, but not something to be afraid of. We should never hesitate because it could mean the difference between success and failure.
