Quiet Courage

Good Morning, brave one 🔥

You’ve got something powerful in you today.
Not certainty. Not a detailed map.
But courage—the kind that says: I’ll go anyway.

You don’t need to feel fearless.
You just need to listen to the part of you that wants to move—even if it’s shaking.

Today’s Vibe: Courage Is Quiet—but Mighty
Courage isn’t always loud or dramatic.
Sometimes it’s a whisper: Try again.
Other times it’s a firm: Speak up.
Either way, it changes everything.

Today’s Mini-Challenge: Do the Bold Thing

Step 1: Spot the Edge
Where in your life are you holding back? What decision, conversation, or change are you avoiding?

Step 2: Feel It—Then Act Anyway
Fear doesn’t mean “stop.”
Often, it means this matters. Let that guide you today.

Step 3: Take a Small Brave Step
Send the message. Say yes. Say no.
Choose progress over perfection.

Quote of the Day:
"Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'"
— Mary Anne Radmacher

The interview turned into the job.

Now, she swears by the 20-second rule:
Enough courage to get started is usually all you need.
