What does the word courage mean to you?

To be courageous means to deny oneself for a moral aim. For the one who loves his life, and comfort and safety, courage manifests when he risks himself for others. But for the quiet, desperate one who hates his life, he is no less courageous when he determines not to indulge himself by ending his life, but instead patiently endures his pain and carries his burden. For the former it takes courage to face death whereas for the latter who welcomes it, it takes courage to face an uncertain tomorrow.

Bravery in the face of danger

Courage is overcoming your emotions and primal instincts, those you feel to promote your own survival and self-preservation. It is going against your default and programmed responses to do what is difficult and/or dangerous. Courage is not just facing your fears, it is overriding your entire self-defense system to do what you know is right and has to be done.

The word Courage to me means a few different things, like for example on June 6th,1944, when thousands of young men charging the beaches of Normandy on that historic day. I know most of them had to be scared out of their mind and some probably even crying, but still charging ahead doing their job, or the biggest event that has forever changed my life probably more than others due to the fact I'm an disabled Air Force Firefighter, and that is September 11th, 2001. When I watch the footage of the firefighters and other first responders and the look on their faces when they are going up in the tower, I can see in their faces that they know they aren't coming back down. To me that is courage.
Overall Courage is being afraid but still doing it anyways.

Doing the right thing regardless of the consequencies

"What does the word 'courage' mean to you?" To me, it means having the fortitude to not only do the right thing with everyday things that come across our lives but also those unseen episodes that live in our minds. Courage is having bravery to serve at home and abroad. Courage encompasses the ability to discern right from wrong as well as standing up to evil even when there is very little good around. Courage is also what you do when no one is looking. It's being able to put that substance or alcohol down that might be getting abused to cope with loss or trauma. It's being able to reach out like I did once when my marriage fell apart. It was courage that kept me from using my Glock in my weakest moment and having that fortitude to reach out instead. Courage is overcoming all of these things, but most of all, it's believing in yourself that you can rush up that hill, into the night, or reach out to others to overtake barriers and trauma that challenge each and everyone of us during our service and at home long after our homecomings.

Courage means looking in the face of fear and deciding that it’s worth doing regardless of what happens. Whether it’s standing up for something you know people don’t agree with or putting yourself in dangerous situations. Courage means never questioning if what you are doing will bring backlash of any kind and just doing it because it needs to be done.

To carry out a task that you fear or to commit to a task that you fear.
