“Of course fear does not automatically lead to courage. Injury does not...” — Eric Greitens Quote

Of course fear does not automatically lead to courage. Injury does not necessarily lead to insight. Hardship will not automatically make us better. Pain can break us or make us wiser. Suffering can destroy us or make us stronger. Fear can cripple us, or it can make us more courageous. It is resilience that makes the difference.

If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.

I don't know how to function without music. When I'm not making it, I'm listening to it. It gives me courage and takes care of my mind.

Courage is not always about action. It takes courage to do nothing rather than do something that you do not believe in or understand.

Optimism is the foundation of courage.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
