The Courageous Act

        Courage, a word often miss used. It can apply to many things though. It usually implies to the act of putting your life on the line to help others, but that is not all. Courage is about getting yourself ready to do something you were almost afraid to do before, almost energizing yourself up for it. In experiences like mine, you build up the courage to do something, just to prove to yourself that you can do it. I was 8, sitting on the snow, covered mountain. The peak to be specific. Staring down the double black diamond that i had not attempted before. I sat there nervously, telling myself i could, just reassuring myself that i would be fine. i let the adrenaline build up until i finally i had the courage to go, and i just took off without a second thought.
