Courage cannot exist without fear, yet they cannot coexist.
Confused?
Courage is the ability to do something that frightens you. Once you begin to accomplish the task, you exchange fear for courage.
In the movie, After Earth, Cypher Raige, played by Will Smith, explained to his son, Kitai Raige, played by Jaden Smith, why fear isn’t real.
“Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real, but fear is a choice.”
You and I both know fear is a real emotion. What I like about the quote by Cypher Raige to his son, is how fear only exists in our thoughts of the future. It hasn’t occurred and may never occur. When you display courage, you are not overcoming fear, you are replacing fear by your courageous act.
Faith is having complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Faith isn’t an emotion like fear, it’s a belief system, and like fear, applies to thoughts of the future.
The bridge from fear to faith is courage.
Replace fear with courage and walk towards a belief system of faith in your God, family, and skills.
