Is courage something you have to be born with, or can you develop it?

In my opinion, courage is not a special quality reserved for few individuals who were born with. No person on this earth was born a courageous person. All courage is developed by the simple act of facing the things that you fear. We can all develop courage. We can all become courageous people if you face your fears and succeed it by developing your courageous skills. If you want to succeed in life and become all that you are meant to become you must begin today to develop quality of courage. To achieve any goal in life, no matter how big or how small, you most develop the courage to take action. Most of us fear something but the truth is that most of our fears are vivid imaginations that will control your life unless you overcome it. For example, I used to be afraid of heights, but once I faced it by going on rides that are extremely thrilling and freaky, I overcome my fear. Once you overcome it, something spectacular happens. You will automatically feel better, stronger and more courageous. So essentially, face your fears and over come it!!
