How to Develop Courage by Overcoming Daily Fears
Sometimes when thinking of courage, we think it only applies to rare and uncommon situations. Yet our ordinary lives can also be full of courage, even if we are not facing the end of a gun, a wild animal or a dangerous criminal. Courage doesn't just mean doing heroic acts. In fact, where there is fear on a daily basis, there are opportunities for you to show your courage. Here are some suggestions to develop courage by overcoming daily fears.
● Recognizing your fears.
By realizing that you're fearful, you are more likely to get to the bottom of what your fear is. You might come to understand that you're afraid of failing or taking chances. You may be fearful simply because you don't have confidence in yourself. The key is not to dwell on your fear, but rather to understand what it is what you're worried about.
● Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen.
If you hesitate to take action, ask yourself this: What's the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then go on to improve on the worst. Is failure the worst thing that can happen? No, absolutely not. Doing nothing is actually the worst thing that can happen. When you take no action, you are assured of getting nowhere.
● Take action.
Courage comes from taking action. You need to act to overcome your fear. Your action may put you into discomfort, but you have to just do it. And your action can prevent you from being stuck.
●
To build up your confidence, you need to do the same thing over and over again. Soon you will discover that less courage is needed because you have already gained mastery. You are able to move decisively forward.
A. Share your fears with others.
B. Practice, practice and practice.
C. So you are already in a comfort zone.
D. You cannot think courage comes just in one day.
E. Each undesired result is just one more step towards your goal.
F. Finding out what is truly holding you back.
G. You needn't wait for an emergency to occur to develop courage.

Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself
In all one's life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.
When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate(高估) yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach.It's likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world. Actually, to get a thorough understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.
Gain a correct view of oneself. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.
Self-appreciate. Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature.If you earnestly admire yourself you'll have a real sense of self-appreciation.
In time of anger, do yourself a favor by releasing it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.
Get a full control of one's life. Then one will find one's life full of color1 and flavor.
A. But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.
B. As long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself, there won't be difficulties you can't overcome.
C. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself for your own incompetence.
D. It has its own value.
E. Especially if it is well within your reach, you are just too blind to see it.
F. Do oneself a favor when it's needed.
G. Do yourself a favor when you resist the attack of illness.
