Courage follows action.

Summary

This quote suggests that courage is not the prerequisite for taking action, but rather it is developed as a result of taking action. In other words, one must begin to take action, no matter how small or uncertain, in order to build the bravery and determination needed for more courageous acts. It implies that by consistently stepping outside one's comfort zone and confronting their fears, individuals can gradually develop the courage to face greater challenges and obstacles. Ultimately, it highlights the idea that action is not only a product of courage, but also a catalyst for it.
