Build courage?
Answer:
facing fears... the only way to build up courage is doing things you usually aren't able to do... i think personally in order to face your fears you must be content with yourself, you must find yourself and be at peace with yourself.
Courage is being afraid, but acting in spite of your fears. It may take some help, but it can be a simple, progressive process.
Each day, do one simple thing that you would normally be concerned about, but if you fail, would have no real consequences...
For example, simply smile and say hello to one of your neighbors one day... the worse that will happen is that they will say nothing... Then keep doing it with no expectation. You aren't doing it for them, you are doing it to prove that you can overcome that small fear.
On another day, look someone in the eye in an elevator in a safe building, and say hello.
Ask someone that you see everyday to go to lunch with you, Dutch treat. If they say no, ask about tomorrow. If they say no, then drop it... they may be 'scared' of your new courage ;-)
Many years ago, in my high school, the football captain was the most popular guy in school... because he could laugh at himself. You know someone like this. Ask him or her where they get their courage from... and listen... You may learn something as well as earn another friend.
Then, maybe you can work up to Kareoke...
But think small steps, and small progressive successes... And soon you'll be as courageous as Bruce Willis in Die Hard.
I built courage by learning how to be a "master" or how to be good at a lot of things. If you want to be a samurai, it requires a lot of discipline and training and practice. I also learned a lot about everything. I read books, went to school, watched good TV, attended lectures, traveled, talked to different people, etc. This way I got to know life in general. And I had a lot to share with people. I can comment on things and had opinions about everything. Also, I learned not to stereotype people. I used to think certain people were smarter, better, wealthier, more attractive, etc. I also made a list of things I didn't like about myself and started working on the list. There's always someone (an expert) who can give advice. That's all.
