Perhaps the greatest challenge that you will ever face in life development of the habit of courage. Winston Churchill once wrote, "courage is rightly considered the foremost of virtues, for upon it, all other depend" fear is, and always has been, the greatest enemy of mankind. Fortunately, the habit of courage can be learned, just as any other skill is learned. To do so, we need to go to work systematically to diminish and eradicate our fears, while simultaneously building the kind of courage that will enable us to deal fearlessly with the inevitable ups and down of life.
