There is no courage if we have not first recognized fear in that situation in which we have decided to be brave. When we do not recognize the risk of a situation, and do not reflect on its consequences, we can be reckless, but not brave.

When we do something, because we know how to do it and we have it well mastered, we will be experts, professionals or we will be well trained, but we will not be brave for that reason either. Courage takes other paths.

To be brave, always we will recognize the fear of that decision or situationits dangers, risks and threats and, despite them, we decided to face it, and have the courage to expose ourselves, take risks and do our best to make it work.
