Courage is not the absence of fear

Speaking of courage...


"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear."
Ambrose Redmoon


Yesterday I came across this quote on a blog, "Untangled: A psychologists reflections on therapy and life"
I admit my inner nerd came out when I saw the word psychologist. hehe It's a great post on fear and living passionately.
I just felt like it was such a perfect definition of courage because so many of us believe that courage is the absence of fear. But courage is moving forward in the face of fear. I feel like fear is what keeps us from being our true authentic selves. It keeps us from being vulnerable.
