The value of actions depends on the courage they require.
Ordinary people who do extraordinary things for others are those we later call heroes. When asked why they performed as they did, they often say, “It was nothing anyone else wouldn’t have done in the circumstances.” Perhaps that’s their way of saying we all have the capacity for greatness. It is only when we are severely tested that we rise to the occasion and perform at the highest levels of our competence. You become a person who does the right things when presented with great opportunities the same way you achieve success at anything: through force of habit. If you make it a practice to take the appropriate action even when it seems unimportant and insignificant, you will do the right thing — without thinking — in important situations. If you let your actions speak for you, you will never have to worry about others recognizing your contribution.

I really appreciated this thought of the day, and I am sure you will, too! Daily life presents many opportunities to cultivate and demonstrate courage. Don't let another day pass you by without taking another step out of your comfort zone, and into courage. Go out on a limb- it's where the fruit is!
