About This Quote

To do something you're afraid of, especially for the sake of somebody else, is the very definition of courage. This idea is often repeated as a way to teach children to be brave. However, it’s important to recognize that courage isn’t simply the act of not being afraid. Being brave requires acting against fear, even if it means stepping outside of your comfort zone.
