Fear and courage are two sides of the same coin

Fear and courage are two sides of the same coin

Fear and courage may seem like opposites, but we can frame them as being two sides of the same coin.

Fear is a basic part of being human. It helps keep us safe by warning us about danger. Courage, on the other hand, is the strength we find within ourselves to face our fears. It is our fear that helps us grow and learn. Fear is the opportunity for courage to take place.

The fear of the unknown can understandably paralyze us. But it is through faith and a serendipitous encounter with a benevolent Higher Power that allows us to take courage and strengthen our resolve.

It is alright to be afraid. It is alright to stop and protect ourselves. But our responsibility is to find the appropriate timing to face our fears, surface the courage lurking within our souls, and fight the battle to be better persons today than yesterday.

Luke 1:26-38. But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
