Courage Tip Two: Ignore the Feelings

Courage often appears when there is fear. In fact, the best definition of courage is that it isn’t an absence of fear, but rather the ability to press on in spite of fear. Many times, there are parts of a person’s life when they are forced to encounter something that causes them to react in fear. This fear can be powerful and compelling, it can inspire someone to react out of sheer terror and in that moment, their emotions will overwhelm them.

Emotions can be a tricky subject, especially when you are trying to cultivate an air of ruthlessness in your life. Many people, especially those who like to pose, might consider themselves to not have feelings and to work very hard to hide the fact that they feel things like sorrow, despair and even disappointment. These people end up suppressing natural human feelings and in the process of doing so, cut off a very important part of themselves.

If you want to learn how to be courageous, the solution isn’t to cut off yourself from your own humanity. Rather, it is to learn how to act in spite of your feelings.

In the process of feeling uncomfortable, we rebel against the way that we feel and try to avoid or suppress those feelings. This causes them to become only more and more intense.

By learning to acknowledge the feelings and give yourself permission to experience them, you can develop a greater sense of control over those feelings. You reduce their strength and power, you remove their intensity and as a result, you become stronger and more in control. This sense of control then gives you the ability to move in spite of your feelings.

After you’ve acknowledge the fear and it lessens in intensity, you will then discover that you have a greater sense of self control. The stronger the emotions, the harder it is to have the courage to do the things that you want to do. Consequently, once you reduce the severity of your emotions by acknowledging them and
