Profile In Courage

Courage is inherent. It lives inside all of us. What we are courageous about or for, may not be what everyone else is, but we are in our own right. The best ability of courage is to stand up for something, or do something that needs to be done. It is the ability to go against, or rise above. People have courage, they display it, they are it. Some will never use it, others live by it. Every second, it drives them to do, to act, to lead. It lends no hands to others, those who choose to ignore it or those who let it ignore them. It isn't always a choice, but when it is, it stands for something else.

It can stand for people. People who became the essence of the word. Who looked at what they had and rose above. There's no definition, there's no single way, there's no guide. There is only the things you do, and what people see. Being courageous is not the absence of challenge, or fear, or danger, or any other evil. It is knowing that, no matter the cost, it will be done. No matter the sacrifice, it will happen. It doesn't happen on it's own, you must bring it out, use it. You can be, but only if you let yourself.
