We have been told to keep in mind that one who loses courage loses all.
It is courage alone that makes one overcome and face any obstacle in
life. Simply put, no courage, no success; brilliance and experience are
of no use if you lose courage.
All the great achievers were men/women of great courage and confidence. Gandhiji was among the weakest, physically, but among the strongest in conviction and courage. And that helped him become a fighter, to come out a winner.
Recall Captain Scott’s brilliant story. He died while exploring the South Pole in a blizzard. His body was found with his diary and some letters. One of the letters was addressed to Sir James Berry, British author.
The letter described the ‘life-taking’ problems he was facing in the Polar region. And yet, he was full of courage and determination. At the end of the unfinished letter, he had somehow managed to scribble ‘COURAGE’.

It is said Berry developed ‘writer’s cramp’ soon after he received
the letter. But Scott’s letter and the word ‘courage’ scribbled in bold
letters helped him come out of depression. Berry continued to unfold
his success story.
In this context, the magic of courage is told beautifully by Winston Churchill: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.”
One who sees light in darkness finds his way out; but one who fails to do so faces his moment of fatality. Courage is that beacon of light that shows you the ways and means to get out of a messy situation. If you lose it, you are messed up in life; and we are left no better than animals.
Courage can be cultivated to overcome the difficulties in life. After all, courage is nothing but determined will to do something; and ‘will’ can be cultivated with positive thinking and by recalling the problems you have overcome in life.
Who had said that the brave may not live forever, but the cautious don’t live at all? This could be our daily morning mantra.
