One day, after feeling nervous for what felt like forever, Timmy was called into the school counselor’s office. His name was Mr. Adler, and he had a way of making even the scariest things seem a little easier.
“Timmy,” Mr. Adler said gently, “I want you to imagine something special. Picture that tonight, while you're sleeping, a miracle happens. You wake up tomorrow and you’re no longer afraid to speak in class. How would things be different for you?”
Timmy’s eyes widened. He had never thought about it like that before. “Well,” Timmy said slowly, “I would raise my hand without feeling scared. My hands wouldn’t shake. I’d talk, and... I wouldn’t feel so worried. Maybe even my voice would be steady.”
Mr. Adler smiled, “And how would that make you feel?”
Timmy thought for a moment, then whispered, “Brave. Like I can do anything.”
The next day, Timmy decided to try. When his teacher asked a question, he remembered the miracle. He raised his hand. His heart still raced, but this time, he didn’t let the fear control him. As he spoke, he saw his friends nodding, and his teacher smiling at him. For the first time, Timmy didn’t feel alone in his fear. He felt like he belonged.
From that day on, Timmy didn’t hide from his fears. He faced them, one small step at a time, finding courage in places he never imagined. And every time he raised his hand, he was reminded that even the smallest act of bravery could change everything.
Moral: Courage doesn’t happen all at once
it grows with every small step. Believe in yourself, take that first step, and you’ll be amazed at how far you can go.
