“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.”
Mark Twain
What if we stopped seeing fear as something to avoid and instead saw it as a guide? It’s a sign that we’re standing on the edge of something important that could help us grow and stretch into who we’re meant to be. Fear isn’t there to stop us. It shows up when we’re about to make an impact, face a challenge, or step into something that truly matters.
Courage isn’t about eliminating fear but about choosing to act despite it. It’s about moving forward even when feeling fearful. It’s not about being fearless; it’s about taking the next step regardless.
You don’t conquer fear by waiting for it to disappear. You conquer it by pushing through it again and again. It’s uncomfortable, it’s messy, but that’s how resilience is built. That’s how strength is built. That’s how you learn to handle the unknown and face risk with purpose.
Each time you choose courage in fear, you grow stronger. You become more capable of tackling the uncertainty ahead, not just today but in the future.
So when fear appears, don’t retreat. Recognize it as a sign that you’re on the right path. Let it be the push that helps you step into what’s next.
