The Courage to Begin

Courage rarely feels like confidence. Most days, it feels like trembling hands and a small, quiet yes.

Standing before something unknown - a new project, a city, a blank page - courage is that moment between fear and movement.
It doesn’t promise success. It simply asks you to try.

The colours of life aren’t painted by perfection, but by attempts - messy, honest, real.
Like brushstrokes on a stormy sky, every failure leaves texture, every effort adds light.

We often wait for clarity before we start. But maybe clarity is what comes after we begin. When you take one small step, the next reveals itself.

Courage isn’t loud. It’s quiet persistence.
It’s saying, “I don’t know if this will work,” and doing it anyway. Because to attempt - to try, to create, to live - is already victory.

So here’s to the ones who start - who walk into the unknown with open eyes and hopeful hearts.

The world belongs to those who dare to begin.
