To create is to risk everything. Human experience helps in creative process thru anxiety & self-actualization. Those who create don't abandon fear but exist within fear. You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor. Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them. Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. “The best protection any woman can have… is courage.” — Elizabeth Cady Stanton “You must learn to be strong in the dark as well as in the day, else you will always be only half brave.” — George MacDonald “I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.” — Rosa Parks “Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.” — Orison Swett Marden “Having courage does not mean that we are unafraid. Having courage and showing courage mean we face our fears. We are able to say, ‘I have fallen, but I will get up.” — Maya Angelou The concept of “courage to create meaning” is explored in Rollo May’s Book, “The Courage to Create.” May argues that creativity is a necessary sequel to being, and that true creativity requires the willingness to take risks and face the unknown. He emphasizes that creativity is not just about artistic expression, but also about the process of bringing something new into existence, which involves confronting fears and embracing challenges. May suggests that creativity is essential for personal growth and self-fulfillment, and that it is a fundamental aspect of human achievement and meaning in life.
