Courage Is Everything

Courage has power. It takes courage to live our lives. Without it, we are not going anywhere. It takes courage to face yourself, to love yourself, to do what you are not comfortable with. It takes courage to say what you really want to say. It takes courage to love, expecially those who have done things that we don’t stand for, things that are not who we are.

It takes courage to chase your dreams. It takes courage to reject something that is going to make your life miserable. It takes courage to walk away from what you are comfortble with. It takes courage to stand for something that is really unpopular, something that a lot of people are for, but you are not. It takes courage to walk away from a high-paying job that doesn’t fit who you are, what you want.

When you are courageous, you can do anything. It doesn’t mean playing reckless games. It mean playing value-based games. When you take a stand, the world will follow. Because it is your own way of telling the world who you are, what you can take, and what you can’t take. If not, the world will tell you who you are not.Do not accept it. Because it is not you.

Why Hope Matters

‘No matter what stage of life you’re at right now, keep reminding yourself that it will get better. Just keep being your bad bitch self, and it will all work out the way it’s supposed to in the end, with you ruling your own life on your own terms and no thought for any of the haters.’– Amber Rose

Go to work for yourself. Go to work for your dreams. And be willing to give more, not less. Just know that not everybody is going to celebrate you when you succeed.

But people will have a lot to say if you do not make it. That is okay. Do not let that bother you. Let them talk. Your work is not to stop them from talking. Your work is to keep going, is to keep making a difference. To keep hope alive.

Is it going to be perfect? No, it is going to be hard. But do not give up. Believe in what you are doing. According to Amber, ‘Everytime you trust yourself, every time you do something scary or hard, you become a little bit stronger.‘ That is how we grow. That is how we make progress.

If you want to make yourself stronger, to prepare yourself for what is next, you have got to be true to yourself. The question is, ‘Are you in it for you?’
