My Learnings: #38

Truth without courage has limited value. While unique insights and deep understanding are foundational—revealing what's happening and the best next steps—they're ineffective without the bravery to speak up or act. Otherwise, you'll be stuck saying "I told you so," trapped as a victim in frustrating situations or systems.

Instead, step up: voice your opinions, defend them, and invite pressure-testing from others. This refines your ideas, uncovers flaws, or strengthens your convictions. Once firm in the truth, muster the courage to take action—this drives real change, whether personal or organizational.

It's uncomfortable, but essential for a successful, fulfilling life. Remember: truth alone isn't enough.
