The Power of Courageous Whispers
Courage is not always loud and active, but often a soft whisper. It takes courage to face our fears and walk towards them. This courage can be found in everyday choices and actions, such as reaching out for a hug in an argument or speaking up when it's difficult. It's important to recognize that courage is not about eliminating fear, but rather about embracing it and taking steps in line with our values.
