Indomitable Courage is one that cannot be intimidated by challenges in the quest for success. It has never and will never be defeated by adversity. One important attribute of indomitable courage is that it will always breakthrough no matter the stern opposition.
It was Walt Disney, who said that,
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
This assertion confirms the audacity of the indomitable courage. For your own consumption courage in the quest for conquest is not intimidated by challenges. It is unbeaten, unbroken, and undaunted in the face of challenges of adversity. There is no power whatsoever that can crush the indomitable courage. It is the ticket you need to explore the world of success. Hence, courage becomes a leverage to greatness. Courage gives your pursuit in life that unique touch of greatness. It is the gateway to conquest and any man that is bereft of courage cannot access the realm of greatness.
One virtue that is common among great people is the indomitable courage and for you to get on the train of greatness you must possess this virtue. There is a measure of greatness in everyone. A seed of greatness is in you, it is also in me. Just like the proverbial mustard seed, it takes indomitable courage to cultivate, nurture, and grow this seed to a giant-sized tree of greatness
Nelson Mandela once said,
I learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid but he who conquers that fear.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not the absence of fear – Mark Twain.
Courage is knowing what not to fear – Plato
From the foregoing courage is not necessarily the absence of fear, but when an individual resolves to move forward even in the face of fear. It is the ability to rise above your fears when occasion demands. Definitely fear will come but your ability to confront and overcome that fear and get result is courage. The indomitable courage fears no fear.
In my own words courage is taming your own fears. It is a veritable leadership skill that enables men to lead in various capacities. In fact, it takes courage to lead and to command a strong and loyal follower-ship. It is only the courageous that can fulfill this mandate of leadership. Every one of us has the capacity to overcome challenges but it takes courage to harness this capacity. Hence, courage encourages capacity building for conquest over challenges of life and at the same time deal with our fears. Courage is a veritable leadership skill that enables men to lead in various capacities.
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life – Mohammed Ali.
Indomitable courage, with regards to greatness, is the ability to take positive risks. Furthermore, taking positive risks means confronting your fears headlong in order to enhance your life and impact your generation. Even when it seems you are compassed with great fears you must take the bull by the horns and confront them for therein lays your greatness. I was always afraid of addressing the crowd. Then some years back an opportunity came in my undergraduate years in the university when I confronted my fears and gave a speech to hundreds of high school students during an education enlightenment campaign. A few years later I had an opportunity to moderate a youth club again; this time around I rose above my fears. Now, looking back I can say that taking that positive risk I took then has enhanced my life somehow and impacted positively on people around me.
Life is full of risks, both positive and negative risks. Positive risks are those risks that when taken will add value to your life. They are value-added risks – V.A.R. They are risks worth taking. Negative risks are risks that will destroy you. Positive risk when taken affords you an opportunity to join great men at the top. So banish your fear now, take the giant stride; that quantum leap that will launch you to the top. Taking positive risks without fear is what separates great men from mediocre, and men at the top from men at the bottom. However, intercourse of indomitable courage and inspiration launches you to greatness. With this kind of inspiration, sacrificing fear on the altar of courage will land you on cloud nine of greatness.
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go – T. S. Elliot.
So your indomitable courage as it is determines how far you will go in your pursuit in life. In the words of martin Luther King Jr,
We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.
Therefore if you want to overcome your challenges and earn a space for yourself in the realm of success, then you must learn to tame your fears and pursue your dreams vigorously with an indomitable courage.
