What does it mean to be courageous? Is it something seen outwardly, as when someone overcomes an overwhelming physical obstacle, or is it "the measure of our heartfelt participation with life, with another, with a community, a work, a future"? This short video provides an eloquent answer through powerful images that encourage further consideration of the question.

    The words move me. They are familiar from David Whyte's work. Each day I must remind myself how much courage it takes to do the work that is in my heart and yet it must be done!

    This is so beautiful, thank you. It made clearer for me why of the 3 things Buddhism teaches we can give, one of them is non-fear; courage. (The other 2 are material things and the Dharma)

    Courage is overcoming fear and living outside the boxes that others design to keep us from being courageous and living life fully. It is the one quality which makes our lives authentic and the one virtue that gives us all the others: honesty, loyalty, truth, and finally love.

    It is vital to remember and embrace the truth of the core or Latin origin of the word courage — “cor” — which means “heart”.

    Sometimes I think we have missed the mark on the meaning of a word especially in the English language and it’s good to revisit the etymology of a word as done in this beautiful video! “The measure of our heartfelt participation with life”.
