Once you are able to establish courage, you begin to better your life. Courage will help you take up opportunities, challenges, risks, battles to a brighter future that you usually or normally wouldn’t take. When you establish courage, you put fear behind you. Bravery is the process of admitting that you have dreads, yet you’re willing to determine a way to defeat those fears and not let these fears take charge of you. It’s ok to experience your fears at suitable times. But, it is very bad and harmful to your future to allow that fear(s) engulf you. See it this way, you have a music audition which requires you to come and perform live in front of an audience. It will only require courage for you to take up that challenges despite your fear of facing a crowd.
Courage means means you have a strong belief in yourself, what you can do and what you stand for. You have strong values, you know your abilities and talents, you recognise your personal capabilities, you are confident in yourself, and you are confident in meeting the challenges that lie before you. You are passionate about your musical career and you are willing to take whatever that happens in the journey of achieving your dream as a musician. When you establish courage, you’ll learn to self-direct you in life. You’ll learn to accept punishment and rewards graciously. A courageous individual will frequently feel motivated to accept blame and responsibility while critiquing their actions and utilizing what they learn to move forward. Brave individuals will step to the front, instead of stepping back when opportunities come their way. On the other hand, a brave individual will step back and take a view of his or her errors gracefully.
You also have to learn how to trust yourself if you desire to be successful and lead a better life. The truth is that, if you don’t trust yourself enough, you can’t be able to trust others. On the road to success, you will meet lots of people that are committed to making you a better person. How do you recognize them or their effort if you don’t trust yourself or what you are doing? When you trust yourself, you are able to trust others. However it sad that we live a world where people take other peoples trust for granted. But, that doesn’t stop you from being the best you can be because, in the midst of disloyal people, we also have loyal and trustworthy fellows who are true to their personalities.
In the midst of the whole drama that plays out in the world today, it will interest you to know that people will irritate you, people will make you angry, people will step on your toes, people will spit to your face, people will do all manner of stuff just to get you off the hook and cause you to retaliate. You will feel uncomfortable about someone or something. Now the question will be, “Are you willing to accept your irritations? Are you willing to accept the challenge? Maybe in the music audition, you feel lost, you feel like you are losing your voice or your stance, you feel like everybody is waiting for you sing a flat note that will cause them to laugh, you feel all manner of things. Are you willing to accept this irritation and discover a way to perform an amazing piece that will leave the judges and of course the audience jaw-dropping? Or are you going to accept defeat that will cost you your dream? Courage is what will help you make the right decision and take the right step.
“Courage is not the absence of fear, it is acting on the premise that there is something more important than fear”-David Prince
