Are you facing or about to face something difficult? Are you afraid you will not succeed at a particular task?
Do you need to encourage someone?
Courage is often a necessary condition for success, whatever your endeavor. It’s also often rooted in necessity. That said, try to shift your point of view: what if the difficulty you are facing were broken down into phases? What would they be?
If you are afraid to make mistakes, see it from this angle: mistakes are your best opportunity to learn. So actually, you’re not going to make mistakes, you’re going to learn, and it is a universal process, everybody has to go through it..
You might not know that you are courageous before you’ve tried. So, go for it, try!

What gives you courage to tackle life and its frequent setbacks? Is it because your desire to achieve something is really strong? Is it because of a moral value deeply engraved in you? What makes you endure and fight?
Have you always had courage, or is it more recent? Is it a pattern in your life and if so, what happens when you act with courage? How do you feel? In this situation, what will it bring?
Originally, the design of the card comes from the proprieties of our perfume Bois Tabac Virginia, a woody, vetiver based perfume. To me, this perfume evokes Courage by its strong start, and its powerful and long-lasting effect.
