Courage

My nine year old niece told my mom
that Auntie K never gets scared.
She has too much courage.

I told her
that there is no courage without fear.
Courage is doing something
even though you’re scared.
If it doesn’t scare you,
no courage is needed.
You would simply do.

Right now,
there’s something you need to do
to succeed that scares you.
It could be making a sales pitch
to that potentially big customer.
It could be announcing to strangers
your plans for a new venture.
It could be admitting you are wrong.

Be a hero.
Find the courage to act through the fear.
