Quote by John Patrick Shanley
I am not a courageous person by nature. I have simply discovered that, at certain key moments in this life, you must find courage in yourself, in order to move forward and live. It is like a muscle and it must be exercised, first a little, and then more and more. All the really exciting things possible during the course of a lifetime require a little more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the idea that courage is not an inherent trait but rather a skill that can be cultivated and strengthened over time. The author suggests that there are pivotal moments in life where courage is necessary in order to progress and truly experience the amazing possibilities that lie ahead. Similar to building a muscle, courage requires practice and incremental efforts. It encourages individuals to take a deep breath, gather their inner strength, and take leaps of faith towards new and exciting opportunities.
