courage

a quality of mind or spirit that enables one to stand fast in the face of difficulty, danger, or pain, etc. with firmness and without fear; bravery; the heart as the source of emotion; to act in accordance with one’s beliefs especially in spite of criticism (Webster’s New Universal Unabridged Dictionary)

backbone, brave, daring, dauntless, fearless, fortitude, grit, guts, heart, mettle, pluck, resolve, spirit, spunk

How is courage ageless?  Courage forces us to live fully.  It gives us the backbone to be at ease with uncertainty and grateful for what we can do.  It helps us trust that suffering will only make us stronger, wiser, and more compassionate.  Courage is an ageless trait because it allows us to face Life’s dips and curves with an adventurous spirit.
