What is Courage?


Courage is that feeling of fear we feel when we try or act upon something new.

Courage is what everybody wants but not everyone has it’s not just physical bravery there are 6 types of courage:

  • Physical courage- developing physical strength and choosing to act on that fear feeling.

  • Emotional courage- following our heart which opens up the feeling from the full spectrum of emotions pleasant or unpleasant without attachment

  • Intellectual courage- is expanding our horizons and letting go of the familiar. It’s about the willingness to learn and unlearn then relearn with an open and flexible mind.

  • Social courage- is being ourselves in the face of adversity which involves the risk of social embarrassment or exclusion and unpopularity and rejection leadership is also involved.

  • Moral courage- is about standing up for what is right which involves doing the right thing even if it’s uncomfortable or unpopular.

  • Spiritual courage- is about facing pain with dignity or faith which helps us live with purpose and meaning through a heart centred approach towards all life and yourself.

What is confidence?

Confidence is that feeling or belief of faith and/or trust to overcome that fear of something new for the first time and the more you act on that the more confidence you will achieve. Confidence is achieved after you have used courage to overcome that fear or step out of your comfort zone to gain more confidence is to use more courage.


One bit of advice I would say when stepping out of your comfort zone or using courage to face your fear is to remember a time when you used courage to gain confidence before and feel how that felt then use that feeling to get you through that something new.


Why is courage and confidence important?

It’s important because we use courage and confidence in everyday life like starting a new job, meeting new people, dating or starting a new hobby. Whatever you are doing you are always using courage and confidence sometimes it’s from the conscious mind and sometimes it’s from the subconscious mind.
