Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. -- Anais Nin
Looking for the confidence to face life's challenges? Feeling the need
for new inspiration and adventure? Do you know what it takes to be
really brave? Courage comes by taking action before we are forced to do
so. And in the words of Eleanor Roosevelt: We gain strength, and
courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to
look fear in the face...we must do that which we think we cannot.
Courage, also known as bravery, will, and fortitude, is the ability to
confront fear, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. Physical courage is
courage in the face of physical pain, hardship, and threat of death,
while moral courage is the ability to act rightly in the face of popular
opposition, shame, or discouragement.
Authors Mary Beth Sammons and Nina Lesowitz have gone to the front lines
of adversity and fear to surface the brave hearts who took action before
they were forced to, confronting and overcoming their fears in ways that
inspire us all. From world-class athletes to spiritual teachers, to
cancer patients, to ordinary people who took extraordinary action to
transform their lives, these courage warriors will show you how to turn
apprehension into action. Enriched with motivational quotes, expert
advice, and power practices, this courage guidebook will show you how to
live your life with guts and gusto.
