Let me give you a piece of advice that might change your mind about being courageous. Suppose that your doctor said that you have six months to live and recommended that you do everything you ever wanted to do. What would you do? Have you always wanted to sky dive, or climb cliffs, or maybe live alone in the woods for a month but been afraid you might be harmed? What difference would it make if you now attempted it? You’d almost certainly live through it and it would enrich the time you had left. Wouldn’t it be nice to go out saying you had faced all your fears? Why do you wait till you have a death sentence? If it’s that important to you, do it now.
