Reflection
Mental Fortitude
Choosing to be brave is not a one-time decision. It is a daily practice.
— Brené Brown
बहादुर बनने का चुनाव कोई एक बार का निर्णय नहीं है। यह एक दैनिक अभ्यास है।
— ब्रेने ब्राउन
Why this matters:
Choosing to be brave is not a one-time decision. It is a daily practice. Bravery is a muscle that atrophies without use. We must seek out small moments of vulnerability and courage every day to ensure that we are ready for the large ones when they inevitably arrive.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
बहादुरी एक मांसपेशी है जो उपयोग के बिना कमजोर हो जाती है। हमें यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए हर दिन भेद्यता और साहस के छोटे क्षणों की तलाश करनी चाहिए कि जब बड़े क्षण अनिवार्य रूप से आएं तो हम उनके लिए तैयार हों।

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