Fear is not a reliable indicator of danger.
It frequently appears when identity is challenged or expectations shift.
Waiting for fear to disappear before acting often results in stagnation.
Courage is a behavioral decision, not an emotional state.
Action precedes confidence, not the other way around.
Each action taken in the presence of fear reduces its authority.
Momentum is built through movement, not reassurance.
The message is that courage is built through action taken before confidence arrives.
