Courage is the most important of all virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.*
Maya Angelou

The things we do to impress others rarely impress them for longer than five minutes. But the things we do to provide value for others can last a lifetime. In the long run, one of the most impressive things you can do is provide exceptional value.**
James Clear

When we embrace that courage is
“of the heart,”
We respect the vitality of
what it is we must do that
others do not –
Then we will show up, stumble,
make a fool of ourselves, learn
all we can, start over,
Keep going until we
lay the gift at the threshold of
another.
