Is it easier to have the courage to of your convictions or
to have the courage to question your convictions?
While for some, having the courage of their convictions may be difficult, many times the courage to question those convictions is even harder.
If you have the courage of your convictions, you are brave enough to act upon what you feel is right, despite any pressure from family members or peers. Most people who have difficulty acquiring the courage of their convictions are holding back due to the fear of judgment or failure. For instance, I do not wish to continue my journey in college. I feel as though college restricts me from living my life to its fullest. But, what will my parents think? What happens if I drop out and all becomes chaos? However, I feel with all my heart that college isn't for me. Okay, I've decided. I am going to drop out. No turning back. This is it. In a situation like this, having the courage of your conviction may be a challenge, especially when considering the consequences. But once you've establish what is 'right', your belief cannot easily be shaken.
