Self-awareness and self-love matter. Who we are is how we lead. So often we think of courage as an inherent trait; however, it is less about who people are, and more about how they behave and show up in difficult situations.

I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.

Give them hope that a human can be brave enough to pursue what they truly love, even at the risk of mockery and failure.
