Sometimes courage looks like being the least experienced person in the room and staying anyways.

Courage sometimes says, I could be wrong, but I'm going to try anyways.

And here's what most people don't understand about courage is that it compounds.

Yes, of course, that first rep is hard and that first episode is uncomfortable and the first draft is always bad and the first conversation is always awkward.

But bravery, courage, it builds momentum and momentum builds belief.

And belief eventually starts to look a lot like confidence.

People don't become confident and then courageous.

They become courageous and then confident.

So, my friend, if you are waiting to feel legit, let me save you some time.

That day might never come.

But the day you choose bravery, that day...

Well, it's available to you right now.

So today, don't ask yourself, who am I to do this?

Ask yourself, who am I becoming if I don't?

Because a better you isn't a more polished you.

It is not a more impressive you.

It's not a more approved by everyone you.

No, no, no, my friend.

A better you is a courageous you.

And I promise you're going to like that version of you.
