Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage. -Maya Angelou
The most authentic expression of courage is to walk the earth as your whole true self.
To engage in the world with your genuine interest.
To be proud of your laugh and brave enough to walk an older person across the street.
To reach out and extend your help to another person, while also, at the same time, making sure that you are following your own self.
To stand up to your friends, and express your true opinions.
To be brave enough to meet someone's eyes, endorse another person's journey, and walk with your head high. To not avoid or discount, but turn toward and embrace.
You can bring more generosity of spirit, more enthusiasm, more kindness, more resilience, more positive energy, more bravery and more magic to the room that anyone else, at least right now, because you choose to. -Seth Godin
