The Importance of Cultivating Courage
What are you afraid of? A common interview inquiry and a terrible first date question. Everyone is afraid of something. It has been an unnegotiable condition of life on Earth from the time humans hit the scene, hunting wild beasts and fighting for survival, to today, with fewer physical threats but arguably more psychological ones. Fear can be a tide-pool or a deep-sea trench, and courage is our only defense against it.
