This quote offers a profound definition of bravery. It dispels the myth that courageous people never feel fear. In reality, they feel it just as intensely as anyone else.
The distinction is crucial: Courage is the choice you make while fear is present. It's the act of acknowledging the risk or the feeling of dread, but choosing to move forward anyway. Mastery doesn't mean eliminating the fear, but learning to manage your response to it, harnessing that nervous energy as fuel instead of letting it become a stop sign.
