Courage

What is it with us that even when the threat of failure is taken out of the equation we still can't sum up enough courage to go for something we really want? What is courage anyway? The absence of fear or knowing you're afraid and still doing it? How do we get up the courage to go for something we want when everything else tells you, you shouldn't? Should you listen to everything else or yourself? Or should you take both factors into account? And how do we know if we're nervous or if is just adrenaline rush or how this things makes you feel? There are so many feelings we don't have names for and so many that feel so alike yet are completely different things. How do we know which one it is we are feeling? Maybe its time we stopped hoping for someone else to take the responsibility off our shoulders. Wishing on an imaginary thing that has no consciousness let alone power to give us what we want. And know that the only person that can make what you want happen is, you. That if you want something that bad you should screw the consequences and do it.
