Courage sounds like a big word, but most of the time it’s small enough to fit inside an ordinary day. It’s having the conversation you’ve been avoiding for weeks, setting one boundary and actually holding it, saying no when saying yes would be so much easier. It’s asking for help before you’re drowning, taking full responsibility for the thing you got wrong, and telling the truth in the moment where a lie would smooth everything over. None of it feels brave while you’re doing it, it mostly just feels uncomfortable, and that’s exactly the sign you’re doing it right. Courage was never the absence of fear, it’s what you choose while the fear is still there.
