Chapter 5.7 – Life Practices: Courage

Courage is not absence of fear.

It is movement despite it.

What would you attempt if fear did not hold you back?

Every meaningful step forward requires courage.

Courage is the decision to act when comfort suggests retreat.

Fear is natural. It protects us. But unchecked fear limits growth.

Courage does not eliminate uncertainty. It faces it.

Whether beginning a new venture, repairing a relationship, or admitting a mistake—courage is essential.

The heart may hesitate.

The mind may calculate risks.

The soul urges authenticity.

Those who practice courage expand their possibilities.

They accept failure as learning. They embrace change as growth.

Courage builds self-trust.

Without courage, life remains small.

With courage, life becomes expansive.

Every bold step shapes destiny.
