“Fear is a sensation. Courage is a decision”

Simplified Meaning:

Feeling scared is something that happens naturally, like when you sense danger or something unknown. It’s an emotion that you can’t really control. On the other hand, being brave is about making a choice to act despite feeling that fear. For example, imagine you're afraid of heights but decide to climb a mountain. Your fear might never go away, but you choose to climb anyway. That choice is courage. This idea teaches us that being brave doesn't mean not feeling fear; it means acting even when you’re scared. So, when facing something scary, remember that you have the power to decide to confront it and that is what makes you courageous.
