Are you courageous?

I ask that question because your definition of courageous is different than mine, I would suspect.

In fact the attitude that is portrayed in the media is that being courageous is a relatively easy action. This prompted me to look at what the word courageous means. According to an on-line dictionary, courageous means not deterred by danger or pain. The synonyms are brave, bold or valiant. To me and example of a courageous person is a person who enlists and fights in a war.

So if being courageous means that you are not deterred by danger, it must mean that you are taking action that is not ordinary. It must also mean that you are taking this action no matter what the consequences are.

Considering all that I have written, what type of courageous actions have you taken recently?

What action can you take today that will help you stretch your abilities?
