It takes courage to step up into the spotlight, to let yourself be seen. It also takes courage to keep working in the background, doing what you know is right without recognition from the wider world.
What kinds of recognition do you enjoy? What kinds of recognition do you prefer to avoid?
“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.”
― Maya Angelou
What virtue has courage allowed you to practice?
It goes against every animal instinct to jump from an airplane into thin air, even if you are supported by the best of technology and instruction. And yet, in so many ways, we do launch ourselves into the unknown, trusting that we will land safely on the other side.
When have you taken a leap of faith?
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
― Harper Lee
What have you committed to in spite of the odds?
There are plenty of forces in the world aligned to tell you that you are not good enough, that you don’t fit in, that you are failing to meet someone else’s standards. Generally speaking, those forces would like to sell you a product or an ideology that you don’t need.
