Build & keep a Culture of Courage

A Culture of Courage (C of C) doesn’t happen by happenstance. It takes leadership by example. It takes people being BOLD yet controlling what they can, the basics.

Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the commitment to overcome it. Courage doesn’t mean you’re not afraid; it means you battle against your fear and confront it. Courage pushes you to resist the impulse to shy away from the things that stir up your innermost anxieties. Courage is required and must be a constant.
It’s tiny pieces of fear all glued together.

Courage is required for greatness. To succeed we must take risks. Yes, it’s prudent to calculate our risk and to NOT be flamboyant or careless regarding them. Yes, they will require paying the price and venturing into the unknown which requires vision and faith. We must give up to go up! There are no shortcuts to the top.

We can learn a lot from the heroes of the Bible who displayed courage and from few who shrank from it.

Here are some tip with my notes regarding a Culture of Courage.

St. Patrick coined this. It’s a great mindset to hold when venturing out where courage must be mustered.

My Pondering

This quote rests on one of ultimate mottos: “Love the sinner, hate the sin” Yeah, I know the concept of sin is taboo for some to even comtemplate in this unwoke society we live in but it’s always there and never going away in our lifetime.

When someone denies their own clear and obvious sin (Blatant intentional injury to an innocent person, significant law breaking, disregard for other people’s well being, beligerent unreasonableness to truth and reality, violation to the rules, ways and desires of God aka the ‘universe’ – however you choose to define sin), there is a time to separate just not hate the person for everyone was made in God’s image and has some good within them.
