Courage is one of the key ingredients for success. The capability to get back up when you've been knocked down, or the aptitude to take decisive action when everything is telling you wait for things to be perfect is definitely a character trait that seperates the men from the boys & the "greats" from the "wannabes."
Great success comes only from taking risks, from going where no man has gone before. No matter how much you plan, you'll always face difficulties, disapointments, setbacks, & defeats. So you might as well forge ahead.
Risk is not your enemy, & risk is not that bad. Risk is an inevitable fact of life. In fact, any investment is a risk, because there's no guarantee you'll gain more or lose your money.
Life is a learning process, not a one-time performance. You can never learn less; you can only learn more. Eventually, experience wins out, wisdom aquired through failure prevails, & things turn around.

You are most welcome sir.

The investment of your time is risk, because there's no guarantee your time will produce anything lasting or meaningful. The investment in your marriage & your relationships is risky, because there's no guarantee that the people you love will love you back or that they will remain faithful or consistent in their love for you. And the investment you make emotionally in people, places, & things will always be risky, because people move, places change, & things rust & tarnish. Risk, therefore, is all around you. You need to work on your thinking & change your perspective of risk.
Whenever you see a sucessful marriage, business, or so on, someone once made a courageous decision.
If you intend to be great, stand-out among men, & be a leader, you will need to take that risk, you'll need to push through that fear.
The ability to overcome the fear of failure is one of the undeniable marks of greatness.

One subtle slayer of Courage, is procrastination.
Procrastinators say, "Ready! Aim! Fire!" Courageous winners say, "Ready, fire, aim!" Both procrastinators & winners do the same things; they just do those things in a different order. You see, it's the aiming part that delays the kill. Sure, you need to aim. But if you're not careful, you can spend so much time aiming that the opportunity eludes you. The wind shifts. The target moves. Too many people spend their whole lives aiming, & they never pull the trigger. They want everything perfect before they take the shot. Unfortunately, things will never be perfect, & winners know this. They know you have to shoot first & then adjust your aim accordingly.
Before a successful person hits his target, he typically takes a lot of shots & misses. He knows he stands a chance of stricking the bull's eye, if he pulls the trigger, rather than sitting there aiming all the time.

Most successful people have a low tolerance for talking & planning. They prefer action.
As simply illustrated here.
Two college students came home for summer with plans to get full-time jobs & earn some spending money for the next semister. While one sat down to work on her resume, the other one got on the phone & started calling some of the area's lagest employers. At the end of the first week, the first young lady had quite an impressive resume, so impressive that it would blow away anything the employers in her small town had ever seen frome somebody her age. But @ the end of that same week, the second young lady was actually working. She found a job the 2nd day & started working the 3rd day. Her idea was to find a job first, before the summer jobs were gone, & then create a simple resume if her employer actually asked her for one.
Don't get me wrong. Planning is important, & definitely has its place.

There is a healthy "tension" that should exist between planning & activity, because while too much planning with no activity leads to nothing, too much activity with no planning leads to failure. So find a balance. Plan a little, then get off your bottom & do something. Then come back & refine your plan. Amazingly, your activity will actually help you refine your plan more than planning will help you refine your plan.
People of great courage set out on their life's pursuit even in the face of doubt & uncertainty & even though they know that failure is a real possibility. They have the amazing ability to make decisions & take action in spite of both the risks & their past setbacks. They are most times, willing to ignore the natural human tendency to avoid failure. Instead, they defiantly stare it in the face as the move forward.
Procrastination is the natural assassin of opportunity & the exact opposite of courage.

When you force yourself to do the opposite of what your natural tendencies are telling you to do, & when you turn towards your fear instead of away from it, your fear shrinks. You need to focus on your dreams instead of failure. As you do, your fears will dissipate & your aggressive pursuit of the finish line will intensify.
Good judgment comes from experience, & experience comes from bad judgment. The way to succeed is to double your error rate, because success lies on the far side of failure. Of course, it is always great when you can succeed without experiencing any failure first. But you shouldn't fear failure because most successful people taste some measure of failure before they actually taste success.
I am convinced the greatest obstacle to success is fear-fear of criticism & the fear of failure. But the man who can confront this both fear, is the man who will far surpass his fellows among a group, to become a leader.

Someone once described the game of football as 60,000 people who desperately need excercise watching twenty-two men who desperately need rest. But the game of football is highly indictive of life itself. Most people watch from the sidelines; few ever really get off the bleachers & get in the game. Sure there's a risk you might lose, fumble the ball, sprain an ankle, miss a tackle, or slip on the wet grass. But nobody scores a touch-down in the locker room until somebody faces fear, suits up, & runs into the feild.
The goal post are standing there for the world to see. Sure, the broadcasters & reporters are nestled in theip skyboxes waiting to criticize your every move, & the opposing team is warming up waiting to destroy your game plan. But the band is playing on your behalf, & the crowd is waiting to cheer you on when you do something truly amazing. So get up, get going, & just do it!

The end.
