Courage

In February, I will be speaking at the UU church and the theme for the month is Courage.  So I thought I would ask you my blogreaders for your personal thoughts and/or experiences with Courage.  Here are a few questions to generate discussion:
  • What constitutes "courage" for you?
  • How do you personally define courage?
  • Are there different kinds of courage?
  • Describe an experience where you have exhibited courage.
  • In what way(s) have you been inspired by another person's courage?
  • How do courageous moments shape us spiritually?
  • How do courageous moments shape us as a society?
I realize that these may be intensely personal questions, but I am seeking intensely personal answers.  Please share your thoughts.  I look forward to the discussion that emerges.

Update:  I have further defined my title and subject material for this lecture - "Spiritual Courage: Living in Heaven's Net".  I shall focus on spiritual courage, grace, and the meaning of the words "living in heaven's net".

  1. Courage is the point, experience, or happening where one has to use their own motivation to accomplish something that is beyond their comfort. Just outside or way outside how they would typically handle a situation. In the end the trust or belief in self or cause has motivated an uncomfortable stand but forces growth, or death, or the girl .
