The Courage to Begin
The first time you do something new in public, your heart beats a little faster. Maybe your voice trembles. Maybe your hands don’t quite know where to go. It’s the moment when preparation meets vulnerability, and courage steps in.
There’s a certain beauty in that first try. It’s imperfect, raw, and real. You learn what worked, what didn’t, and what to try next time. Most of all, you discover that growth doesn’t happen in the comfort zone; it occurs in the act of showing up anyway.
This week, lean into your firsts. Try the thing you’ve been putting off. Let the discomfort teach you something new about yourself. Each time you step forward, you build the muscle of courage, and that’s where confidence begins.
Growth begins the moment you say yes to trying, even when it’s hard.
