Courage is the quiet fire that burns within us, igniting our strength when the world feels dark and uncertain.
It’s not the absence of fear, but the choice to step forward despite it—to face the storm, to speak when silence feels safer, to stand when trembling knees beg to kneel.
It’s the heartbeat of every small victory, the whisper that says, “You are enough,” even when doubt screams otherwise.
Courage doesn’t always roar; sometimes it’s the steady breath that carries you through one more moment, one more day.
You carry it within you, a boundless well, ready to rise when you need it most.
May we have the courage to finish the race.
