Courage — the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., in spite of fear; bravery.

In life we are all faced with difficult decisions, some we wish we never had to make. Courage is required for perseverance, focus, dedication and faith.

Below are 12 ways to live your life courageously:

1. It takes courage to be forthright with others and even more courage to be completely honest with yourself.

2. It takes courage to leave when it’s easier to stay. It takes courage to let go and walk away from a person or situation that has run its course.

3. It takes courage to pursue your dreams despite the setbacks and difficulties that will come your way.

4. It takes courage to stand up and fight for what you want. It takes courage to love unconditionally, deeply and freely.

5. It takes courage to take risks, try new things and go new places. It takes courage to be bold.

6. It takes courage to be responsible for your choices and actions, and courage to admit when you’ve made an error in judgment; also known as a mistake.

7. It takes courage to earnestly take an internal journey, and courage to face what you find.

8. It takes courage to be vulnerable and to externally share the emotions you have inside.

9. For an independent person, it takes courage to ask for help and even more courage to receive it when it’s provided. For a person who is reliant, it takes courage to know when you need to travel the course alone without a crutch by your side.

10. It takes courage to unapologetically be who you are, and courage to go against the status quo.

11. It takes courage to trust your intuition.

12. It takes courage to put your talents on display for others to see when you have no idea what they may think or say. It takes even more courage to detach yourself from needing validation.

It takes courage to live your life, your way; and a courageous life is the only type of life worth living.
