There’s a quote I keep coming back to, especially lately, by Mary Anne Radmacher:
“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’”
To be honest, I haven’t been in a place where I feel strong or fearless. Most days, I’m just moving through my responsibilities-doing a job I didn’t choose out of passion, but out of necessity. And some days, it feels like the weight of everything is too much. The dreams I had for myself feel paused or distant, and preparing for something better feels hard when I’m already stretched thin.
But then there’s that small voice inside me - the one that shows up quietly when the day ends. It doesn’t roar. It doesn’t promise miracles. It just says, “Try again tomorrow.”
That’s the courage I’m learning to hold onto. Not the loud, dramatic kind, but the steady, tired kind - the one that keeps showing up, even when nothing feels certain.
So if you’re also in a place where you're just trying to stay afloat -know that you're not weak. You're showing a different kind of strength, one that often goes unnoticed. And that’s still courage.
This is just a piece of what I’ve been feeling lately. I don’t have all the answers, but I’m still showing up. Thanks for reading.
