Catalyst
Courage is stepping away from conformity to stand by your truth.
Insight
It is easy to confuse safety with conformity, to believe that going along with the crowd protects you from judgment or failure. But courage asks you to abandon the comfort of blending in when it conflicts with your values. Choosing to stand out or speak up often feels risky, which is why it requires such bravery.
Courage does not mean challenging everything for its own sake. Rather, it means thinking critically, acting with integrity, and following your principles even when it feels uncomfortable. A life built on conformity may feel easier, but it often results in a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. Courage shapes a life true to you, not one dictated by the expectations of others.
Reflection
Where in your life have you been conforming to avoid discomfort? How might you take a small, bold step to align more closely with your values?
