Courage is Beautiful

There’s something that you need to do. Something that likely should’ve already been done. Something you’ve been holding off on, waiting until the “time was right.” That time will never come… 

That thing is different for each of us, unique to our situation. The reason we often avoid getting it done? Fear. Certainly laziness exists, but more often I see people avoiding starting an important project because something bad might happen. They can’t control the outcome with 100% certainty, so they sit in limbo, dreaming of perfect conditions that will never come.

So, what to do? Get started. Move towards the goal. It may not turn out exactly as you want. In fact, it may fail. But you have a 0% chance of making anything good happen if you’re too afraid to start. We need people willing to take real steps forward by leaving their imaginary battles behind.

“In an ugly world, courage is beautiful. It allows beautiful things to exist.

Who says it has to be so rare?” – Ryan Holiday
