This is from a great "bathroom reading" book called "Lists To Live By". I've been thinking a lot about the character trait called courage, and I think this is an interesting list.
Actions That Take Courage:
- Admitting you are wrong.
- Doing what is right when everyone else isn't.
- Speaking to someone you don't know.
- Saying "no" when people are trying to get you to do something you know you shouldn't.
- Telling the truth and accepting the consequences.
- Standing up for something you believe in even though it might mean rejection or ridicule or even physical harm.
- Defending someone who is considered unpopular or unacceptable.
- Facing a limitation and giving it your very best regardless of pain or discomforts.
- Confronting a fear without running away.
- Giving sacrificially to protect or promote either someone you love, someone who has been wronged, or someone who is in need.
- Being the only one.
- Taking a risk.
- Sharing your heart honestly (including your feelings and fears and failures).
- Living your faith with all your heart, mind, soul and strength regardless of the cost.
