So, let’s all give each other high five’s and tell one another how courageous they are. I think that for the most part we rise up and do what we gotta do with the best intentions at heart. Sometimes we even push through full on crises. Every day we respond to irritating or difficult situations with love and purpose. If we expand the definition of courage to include pushing through hard emotions to get at a greater goal then courage is aplenty in every day family life. (But, we might need courage to eat a scorpion or something weird like that.) Rather, courage means that we act on the greater goal despite feeling afraid or anxious.Īs I was working on my children’s book that has a theme of courage I started thinking just how much courage we all have. We don’t have courage to eat ice cream because ice cream isn’t scary. I liked to tell my clients that courage doesn’t mean that you aren’t afraid. Somewhere along the way I realized that courage is much more than that. I used to think of courage as the brave men and women in movies who slew dragons and faced down the wicked witch until good triumphed.
