Sometimes, Courage Is In The Little Things

in #life5 years ago

When we think of courage we often think of the big bold steps that we (or others) take that bring about extraordinary change to us and to people around us and while that is amazing, we often overlook those little courageous moves that brought us to that point. Yes, big bold steps are amazing but so are the little ones.

It isn't strange to hear one say “I am not as bold or courageous, I can't do that” and they forget all the little yet courageous move they have made at some point. I believe that our ability to make those little courageous moves, like even being kind to people when we’ve been treated in the worst way possible speaks volumes about how strong and courageous we can be. And it all starts from there!

When I think of courage, I think I a child trying to get up over and over again after falling while learning to walk, that is my image of courage. While that is super simple, I believe that it does show courage in all of its forms.

Your courage doesn't have to make the “raging” sound sometimes, it just has to make the slightest difference in the presence of your fear and believing in the best despite all. Sometimes, courage is taking those “invisible” steps and having the will to keep living

What might seem like a bold step to one might not seem like it to another and that is totally fine because we all are on our own journeys and our journeys differ.

Your form of courage might be choosing to truly live instead of just exist, it might be choosing to show love despite all odds, it might also be seeking help when you really need one. All of these are important ways we show courage and without them, we might never be able to do the “big things” we do hope to. Actually, the biggest forms of courage are born out of these seemingly little ones, they are the foundation.

Appreciate the little courageous steps you take, that's what will sharpen you to take even bigger ones because, to be honest when we don't appreciate taking those little steps and practice them, we may never be able to take the big ones. Everyday, we exhibit a form of courage because it does take courage to actually live...

The key is appreciating yourself for having the courage to do those little things and challenge yourself to do even better and when you fall, you rise again! That's how we grow!
