Three things I saw today requiring courage:
A friend publicly sharing his weight-loss journey.
Someone running from the Pacific to the Atlantic to bring awareness to a terminal disease.
Police officers pulling a man from a burning car.
Everyday we have access to stories of courage.
Everyday our feeds are full of acts of bravery.
Everyday we see people taking risks.
It all makes great news and catchy 30 second videos.
What rarely gets captured is the most courageous act of all: the mostly private, deeply unsettling step into our purpose.
“Consuming" the courageous feats of others placates our propensity to pursue this one, ultimate act of courage.
