Recent news reports have discussed the need for courage in facing challenges in life and current world events. Courage does not exist on it’s own and I’m exploring how vulnerability is also needed to be courageous.

Brené Brown has covered this interaction extensively.

I really like the following quote from Leena Wilde Ryan:

Courage, it turns out, isn’t one dramatic leap. It’s the daily, unglamorous decision to keep authoring your own life instead of accepting the draft everyone else already wrote for you…

That’s the world I want to leave behind — Not a blueprint to copy.

We didn’t come here to be the same as each other. We came here to become so unmistakably ourselves that the people who watch us can feel exactly how deeply we’ve met our own hearts.
