Several older understandings of the word courage are associated with words related to “heart.” What can we make of this connection between courage and heart? We could say that it takes courage to follow our hearts. This can happen when we are determined to live in accord with a heartfelt value that isn’t popular. Our hearts can also get involved in other ways, helping us act courageously.
