Trying new things can be scary at first,  You may feel uneasy and start thinking the worst,  But if you can keep on going for just a little bit longer, You may just find that your confidence gets a whole lot stronger. [entire episode script below] Ep. 387 - Happy Courage We begin as always  with the Happy Creed.

Trying new things can be scary at first,  You may feel uneasy and start thinking the worst,  But if you can keep on going for just a little bit longer, You may just find that your confidence gets a whole lot stronger. Because part of the fear comes from the unknown, And from the uncertainty that can become overblown, But as you get familiar with the situation at hand,  Your outlook improves as you begin to understand. You then start to notice things you didn’t notice before,  Opportunities to advance and raise your overall score,  Expectations you can manage and allies you can make, Challenges you can handle and chances you can take. Happy Courage isn’t a total lack of anxiety or worry or fear, It’s, instead, your refusal to cower or shrink when those things may appear, You don’t need to avoid nervousness in order to act,  Happy Courage means you keep going even if you feel like you’re being attacked. Many’s the time when I was an absolute bundle of nerves, But that often juiced up my flagging energy reserves, I’ve asked girls to dance, and spoken on stage, I’ve defended myself in a fight against someone in an absolute rage. You don’t need to hide from the world just because it’s a tad frightening, That’s as silly as hiding underwater to avoid bolts of lightning, But instead you should learn to face up to challenges both old and new, Because Happy Courage is you being your most courageous you! Haha Yowza
