Courage is sometimes depicted as something partially joyful, especially when in the context of militancy, I guess, but then Is there any joy

Is it really courage if it's easy, if you are happy while doing whatever it is that requires you to be courageous?

I think that as @justbob says you will be joyful looking back and seeing you did the right thing. So perhaps you can look forward to the expected joy.

The joy comes much later when you look back and know you did the right thing. In the moment its mostly just stress.

I’ve rarely found it so. When I struggle to find courage, what I’m usually attempting to overcome is fear. When successful, my feelings are generally relief rather than joy. 🥺

i cant really think of something courageous that is depicted in the moment as joyful, i always think of it as something hard that has to be done...

Things are hollow

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the will to carry on in the presence of fear."
