Courage

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to be afraid without being paralyzed. Courage is found by facing our fears, the small ones, the fat ones, the embarrassing ones and the really big, scary ones. To live the fullness that our own life is inviting us into we often let ourselves be afraid and do it anyway. If we keep ourselves safe, how will our courage grow?”

-The Yamas & Niyamas by Deborah Adele
