Courage Is Not The Absence Of Fear.

COURAGE IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF FEAR.

Someone once described fear as False Expectations Appearing Real.

Fear creates stories of failure in our minds before we ever take a single step.

It paints pictures of obstacles that may never exist and convinces us that the unknown is something to avoid rather than embrace.

Talented people stay on the sidelines, not because they lack ability, but because they allow fear to speak louder than faith, courage, and possibility.

The tragedy is that many of the doors we are afraid to open may lead to the very breakthroughs we have been praying for.

Courage is the decision to move forward despite fear.
It is choosing to trust your potential more than your doubts, your dreams more than your worries, and your possibilities more than your fears.

Open the door, take the step, and believe anyway; you may discover that what stood on the other side was not failure, but the life you were meant to live.
