It can be acquired by exposing oneself to harder life and doing what one thinks is correct. Courage
can be developed to some extent by ambition and inspiration.
Steps to Improve Physical and Mental
Courage:
1. Lay out Goals: Keep body, mind and soul spiritually tuned up by daily periods of exercise and
keep faith in God. Visualize health and wholeness and entertain no negative thoughts about
yourself. Work towards being physically fit and mentally alert in solving problems arising in
college, at work or in society.
2. Composure: Relaxation / meditation and regular exercise keeps one composed.
3. Get Inspired: Sports, travel, music, art, stimulating friends, good books and nature contribute
to inspirational living. Participate in adventure activities and rejuvenate yourself.
4. Overcome Fear: Picture yourself as boldly attacking and overcoming your fears. Perseverance
pays. The very moment you decide that nothing shall defeat you, from that instant NOTHING
CAN DEFEAT YOU.
5. Believe: As you train your mind to believe, everything tends to move out of the area of the
impossible into that of possible. Think, believe, and visualize success.
6. Enthusiasm can do wonders for you: Look for interest and romance in the simplest things
about you. Enthusiasm will drown fear of failure and lift up performance.
