Meaning
This defines courage as a choice rather than a feeling. It can be taken to mean that fear does not disappear, but it is outweighed by a clearer commitment to what matters most. It lands when someone is hesitating before a hard decision, and needs the reminder that bravery often looks like moving forward while afraid.
