Doing other things may look like progress to others, even though when you look in the mirror you know you acted from fear or comfort instead of from bravery and greatness.

When faced with the temptation of doing everything but the thing you’re supposed to do, consider the real question you’re faced with: “Am I going to be brave or afraid today?”
