Every act of courage begins with small decisions from "summary" of Courage Is Calling by Ryan Holiday

Courage is often romanticized, seen as a grand gesture or a dramatic moment of bravery. Yet, true courage is cultivated through a series of small, often overlooked choices. Each day presents opportunities for individuals to act with integrity or face their fears, even in minor situations. Whether it’s speaking up in a meeting, confronting a personal flaw, or choosing honesty in a difficult conversation, these seemingly trivial moments lay the groundwork for more significant acts of valor. Every small decision is a training ground for resilience. When faced with discomfort or fear, the choice to push through builds a foundation for future challenges. It teaches the mind and body to recognize fear not as an enemy but as a natural part of the journey. Each time one chooses to act despite apprehension, a little more strength is forged. This gradual accumulation of courage prepares individuals for the inevitable, larger trials that life will present. These small choices are interconnected. One act of bravery can inspire others, creating a ripple effect. When someone stands firm in their beliefs or takes a stand on a minor issue, it encourages those around them to do the same. This collective courage transforms environments, leading to a culture where bravery is the norm rather than the exception. The path to heroism is not always dramatic. It is often mundane and requires consistent effort. Recognizing that courage is a series of small steps empowers individuals to embrace their potential. Each moment is an invitation to choose bravery, to act in alignment with one’s values, and to pave the way for greater acts of courage in the future.
