Courage

Courage is most important quality of leadership since it thinks only of the destination and nothing else. It is the force of a decided will behind every move and therefore failure is away from it. Courage occurs when you can't necessarily see, but in your heart you know and that knowing turns into a light to see by, so you do not stop. Courage grows with life, but it's also a quality of a child who knows no challenge and of an adult who is ignorant of challenge’s threat.

Courage is saying what you believe, undiluted, desiring no approval, knowing that a deeply thought out ideal is powerful enough to withstand opposition and if it is knocked down, then courage knows not to blame, but to rebuild stronger. Courage is to move forward into a place of difficulty without a solution in mind, but yet feeling that victory is ahead. It is going empty handed but knowing that someone is there to take care of you.

Courage is a fruit of consistent effort to play life by the rules. Courage doesn’t come unbidden merely in a moment of danger. The expression of courage is the tip of a rock below the surface, that is just visible and becomes an island for others to rest on. When you're courageous others can sense it and it makes them to trust you. A courageous person says less and does more. Courage is boldness but it is always cautious.

A courageous leader never gives up. Together with his courage he always improves morale of his supporters. He always stands firmly and says,” What may come, I am there”.
The cabability to perform the right thing in spite of fear is courage. Courage is important to conquer fear. Courage is a firmness of mind. It's an ability to confront difficulty. It is the most important virtue that attracts other virtues strongly.
The term courage emerged from Latin word ‘cor’ which means ‘heart’. Courage means ‘whole-heartedly’.

Courage is mental quality and it can improve by sincere efforts. You can develop courage over a time. You must be strong mentally and physically for improving your courage level. Developing positive attitude also enhances your courage.

People naturally gravitate to courageous person because they're optimistic and cheerful. They face difficulties and setbacks happily. Courage motivates them to take risks because they always keep track of the destination than hurdles.

Courageous leaders never think of their own growth only. They always take everybody around them on the way of success. They believe and talk about ‘We’ and not ‘I’. Courage brings confidence and firmness along with it.

Aristotle stated that courage is the mean between fear and carelessness. A reckless person cannot consider as courageous one. You start identifying the ways where fear is holding you back from your success and your joy. This is the first step in developing courage. Once you identify the facts holding you back, slowly you are able to work out for removing those and automatically you will transform as a courageous person.
