Reflection

Courage

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.

— Franklin D. Roosevelt

Why this matters:

Being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t afraid; it means you have found a purpose or a value that outweighs that fear. It is the choice to act in alignment with your principles despite your trepidation.

Psychological Lens

This quote can be read through the lens of resilience: the capacity to keep orienting toward meaning, values, or next steps during difficulty.

Reflection Prompt

What value or small next step still matters, even if the full outcome is uncertain?

Tiny Practice

Write one sentence naming what still matters, then take one action smaller than your resistance.
