Do this every day and you’ll become a more courageous person.
Can I tell you a secret?
I became a coward in my 20’s because all I did was what was “right”. “Right” according to my father and my professors who taught me to find a secure job and stick with it no matter what.
I buried what was right for me. I learned agriculture because my father wanted me to be an expert in the field. I said the right thing all the time. I dressed the right way for the job. I stayed silent and bit my lips whenever the urge to run my life woke me from my deep sleep.
Do you have this kind of courage?
To your inspirations,
Banchi
