Courage—it’s a word that holds so much power yet often feels so elusive. 

But what if I told you that courage doesn’t have to be skydiving or running with the bulls in Spain? 

Courage can be making one powerful choice to go all in on what matters most to YOU.

Recently, I’ve been talking a lot about Greg McKeown’s idea of essentialism. Focusing on what matters, cutting away the excess, and refusing to spread yourself thin by operating at 65% on many things.  Instead, give 100% to what is important to you. This might seem like a small shift, but trust me, it’s life-changing. 

When you decide to go all in—giving your attention, effort, and time to what’s important, the universe responds. It’s as if the world hears you. Sure, what you water grows, but there’s something almost magical at play here. 

Just the other day, a friend and I were talking about this very thing. She said “I love when that happens. It’s like courage creates a vibration.”

Exactly—the vibration of courage. 

A single courageous act can change everything. Depending on your season of life, it might mean moving faster toward the right thing, stopping what’s not working, saying yes, saying no, building or tearing down. 

But here’s the thing: the extended hand of courage doesn’t make the path easier. It often makes things more difficult. You’re willingly stepping into the unknown. But courage gives you a chance. It puts you in the game and sets the stage for transformation. 

Looking back, I see how I once lived with a disconnect between my actions and who I aspired to be. Big plans, big goals, but minimal risk. I realized the world can’t hear you when you’re hiding inside your comfort zone. A dream remains a dream unless you dare to bring it into the light. 

Life wants to push you forward. It wants to be your ally. So, give the world something to work with. Breathe some life into your ideas and visions. 

This week, I challenge you to do something bold. Wake up a few minutes early. Enjoy a cup of coffee or your favorite morning drink. Find a cozy spot and get out of your head and into your heart. Envision a reality that excites you, and then commit to one courageous act that will bring that vision to life. Just one thing. Own it. Watch how this single step creates momentum and transforms other areas of your life. See how the black-and-white landscape turns into vibrant colors just by taking action. 

This is your beginning—the power you’ve always had, the vibration of courage. From your heart to the universe, from your soul to the world. It’s where you were meant to go. So, my friend, go there.

Welcome to the Golden Hour Reflection! Begin each day with purpose and clarity by embracing a peaceful morning routine. Download the challenge below and embark on this transformative journey with us.
