Having courage isn’t just about doing crazy stuff that seems brave. It’s about a whole lot more.
Talking Points:
- Courage is about facing your fears even when you want to run, and there are plenty of things that might make us want to run.
- Making friends when you don’t know a lot of people – like if you move to a new town – can take courage.
- Standing up for what’s right, like protecting someone being picked on, or telling the truth when it would be easier to hide or to mind your own business, takes courage.
