Breaking down Ryan Holiday’s (@ryanholiday) Daily Stoic post on the 7 Stoic Keys to being Courageous.

Ruth Gordon 👏Courage is very important. Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use.

The list as presented:

  1. Remember that we suffer more in imagination than in reality.
  2. Don’t try to picture everything bad that could possibly happen. Stick with the situation at hand.
  3. Be OK with looking foolish or stupid.
  4. Adversity Reveals – look at difficulty as a sparring partner, a chance to prove yourself.
  5. Consider what else you’ve been through. What you’ve had the strength to endure.
  6. Quit worrying about what other people will think.
  7. Remind yourself that without difficulty, no one can ever know what you’re capable of, not even you.

This is a great way to frame approaching daily courage and as Coach Divine likes to say, Fortune favors the brave.
