Beyond the To-Do List - Productivity for Work and Life

NOTE

The Difference Between Bravery and Boldness

Courage comprises the feeling part of love, while bravery involves habitualized, strategic, and decisive action, understanding the consequences, and positioning oneself for success. The distinction between boldness and bravery is crucial, as boldness often involves absolving oneself of responsibility for the outcome, while bravery calculates the cost and takes action in spite of the consequences. Furthermore, bravery is tied to having an optimistic vision of the future and believing in one's agency to bring about positive change. It's essential to carefully use words like bravery and heroism, as running into a burning building is viewed as heroic, and speaking up in a meeting or getting on stage can also be brave actions, depending on the individual's perspective and the perceived risk. The significance of these moments is crucial, as people often regret choosing the cowardly path of comfort and least resistance instead of moving forward and making brave choices.
