Courage is a tricky thing to explain. Courage is an act in the field of action, and courage is also a smile that you put on your face when you know everything is not right. Courage is the cause which inspires you to change the world, and courage is also the effort to change one’s very own world. Courage is the love that you see in your lover’s eyes, and courage is also a heartfelt advice to believe in love, even when you are heartbroken. Courage is everything that you can think of and courage is everything that you cannot. And here are few tiny little things that courage is.
