"Courage isn't the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear," Ambrose Redmoon.

I recently stumbled across this quote and thought, self (because I usually address myself in third person) "that quote is perfect for my idea of character." A person of genuine character is willing to do anything if their judgment determines that the potential outcome of that something is far greater than the fear itself. So what if fear is there, it's just an emotion anyway, but if one can find something more valuable than that emotion, then perhaps that's when a person is truly living outside of them self. I love that. I esteem to be like that.
