The difference between someone who earns extraordinary rewards and someone who doesn't is often just one thing: courage. People with more courage than talent consistently build more meaningful and productive lives than those with more talent than courage.
Courage plays a defining role through its presence or its absence. Lack of courage generates more failures than lack of ability. An abundance of courage creates more success than an abundance of talent.
Stepping forward in courage puts your life on a trajectory. Stepping back in fear sets it on a very different course. When you meet these diverging roads, you will choose to act with courage or not. There is no escaping the decision. One way or another, you choose.
You may or may not be ready. You may or may not feel doubt. You may or may not be talented enough. You may or may not even know what you're doing. That's why it takes courage.
The courageous feel it all and step forward anyway. The uncourageous feel it and step back in fear. That decision is responsible for more of the future than anything that happens after.
Step forward in courage, or step back in fear. One way or another, your decision changes everything.
The time is now. Do the work.
