Winnie Hart argues courage isn't just grand gestures but quiet persistence through fear. She uses the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz to show how each small brave act strengthens who you are and inspires others around you.
Today, I think I can. I think I can. Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow. Just like the Lion in The Wizard of Oz, you can. Standing out takes courage and a willingness to challenge the status quo and pursue a path that, that's uniquely yours. Because courage isn't— it's not only about bold, dramatic action. It's also about the quiet, steady resolve to keep going, especially when facing uncertainty. And each courageous step that you take, whether speaking your truth or embracing a new direction or maybe making a tough decision, strengthens your distinct identity, and inspires those around you. And cultivating courage, it empowers you to meet, to meet those challenges head-on, and it reinforces your conviction and resilience as you define your own path. Be the lion. Think of an area where fear and uncertainty has held you back and take one small courageous step today, whether, whether it's making a decision, sharing a perspective, or maybe moving forward with a new idea.
