“Life shrinks or expands

in proportion to one’s courage.”

Courage is needed

to grow and transform.

We need courage

if we want to become

the best version of ourselves.

Fear serves us

because it protects us from danger,

but we must never let fear

take away our courage.

It takes courage

to do many things in our lives.

For example,

when we are in a relationship,

it takes courage to be who we really are

and to be honest,

trusting the other person with our vulnerable feelings.

We also need courage

to move forwards in our lives,

whether in business or personal ways.

Genuine courage

is very often aligned

with our personal values.

Courage empowers us

to turn a challenge into an opportunity.

We want to expand our lives

which is why we need courage.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
