Personal Reflection
Fear doesn’t vanish just because you’ve decided to act. It lingers, claws at your ribs, whispers every excuse in the book. But courage has never been about silence in the face of fear—it’s about defiance. It’s choosing to move anyway, to step forward because what waits on the other side matters more than your comfort. The moments I remember most in my own life weren’t the times I avoided fear, but the times I carried it with me and kept walking.

Reflective Prompt
What’s one decision you made that terrified you—but you knew was worth doing anyway?
