Courage Is Calling

Here are 10 lessons from "Courage Is Calling: Fortune Favors the Brave" by Ryan Holiday:

1 Courage is a muscle that must be exercised: Courage is not something you either have or you don't, it's a skill that can be developed and strengthened with practice.

2 Fear is a natural part of growth: Fear is a natural response to uncertainty, but it shouldn't hold you back. Face your fears and use them as an opportunity to grow.

3 Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act in its presence: You don't have to be fearless to be courageous. You just need to be willing to take action despite your fears.

4 The greatest risk is not taking any risk: Playing it safe all the time can be the biggest risk of all. Take calculated risks and embrace uncertainty.

5 Courage is contagious: When you show courage, you inspire others to do the same. Be a catalyst for courage in those around you.

6 The only way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing: Don't let fear or doubt hold you back. Take action and start moving towards your goals.

7 Courage is not just physical, but also moral: Courage is not just about physical bravery, but also about standing up for what is right and doing the hard thing.

8 The biggest regrets are often the chances we don't take: Don't let fear or doubt hold you back from taking chances. Regret is a heavier burden than failure.

9 Courage is a choice: Courage is not something that happens to you, it's a choice you make every day. Choose to be courageous.

10 Fortune favors the brave: The universe rewards those who take action, who show courage, and who are willing to take risks. Be brave and see the opportunities that come your way.
