Demonstrating courage can foster humanity around the world and empower people to accomplish further.
When it comes to courage, people may imagine special activities or great actions.
Some argue that not everyone is brave. However, it’s reasonable to believe that anyone can have and show courage.
First of all, to feel courageous, we need purpose, and it can be a single goal worth making sacrifices for.
For example, if we aim to become lawyers and plan to attend law school, we need to prioritize studying over our leisure activities. Sacrificing leisure time becomes necessary.
The purpose should be virtuous. Otherwise, we might stray onto a difficult path.
Achieving the right purpose involves having knowledge and the right life philosophies—the interconnected and mutually influential ones.
By aligning with these criteria, we can move closer to courage.
Courage manifests in different ways, whether at an individual level or globally.
Regardless of the scale, courageous acts inspire and motivate others.
Yu Gwan Sun, who was a Korean independence activist, is the person to illustrate this point. She led protests against Japanese colonial rule.
Her courage inspired her peers and Korean independence activists while becoming a symbol of hope for future generations.
The greatest benefit of courage is its power to strengthen humanity. In the end, courage helps others and enriches the individual.
When small acts of courage combine, they inspire global communities and spread hopeful messages that encourage more courageous actions.
The key to possessing courage is awareness.
We must recognize that we, too, can be courageous; in fact, many great individuals have shown this throughout history.
By embracing courage and not fearing to act on it, ultimately, we can be brave for ourselves and humanity.
