It’s obvious to most people that it takes courage to start a new business, move to a new city or country, get married, or even go into battle. But it may also take courage to engage the smaller things in life, for example, speaking up for oneself, asking for help, looking for work, or holding on to hope. It especially takes courage to love, forgive or befriend others again following hurt, disappointment or mistreatment. Courage is the final character-strength found possessed by those who GROW through difficult circumstances.
