Most of us have more potential than we will ever develop. What holds us back is often courage.

Lack of courage often hinders us from accomplishing the positive things that we would like to do.

We all have tremendous potential, and we all are blessed with gifts. Yet, the one thing that holds all of us back is some degree of self-doubt. It is not so much the lack of technical information that holds us back, but more the lack of self-confidence. Some are more affected than others.

Most people never live up to the potential they have been given. The results they produce and the life they experience are only a tiny fraction of what they are truly capable of. Why? What stops us? Only one thing: fear.

I have extremely little courage myself, much less than you; but I have found that whenever, after a long struggle, I have screwed my courage up to do something I always felt much freer & happy after it.

One of the main reasons people fail to reach their full potential is because they are unwilling to risk anything.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

One of the main reasons people fail to reach their full potential is because they are unwilling to risk anything. They are fearful of losing, failing, or getting hurt and just want to do the things they believe will keep them safe.

Most of the time it’s not lack of experience that’s holding us back, but rather the lack of determination to do what we need to do to be successful.

What would be of life if we didn´t have the courage of doing something new?

We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test.

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We cannot be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

It’s our strengths rather than our weaknesses that often hold us back.

A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage
