it’s okay to be afraid as well as brave.

Watch a person's hand while they sign something serious. Often it isn't steady. They sign it anyway, and both of those facts are true at once.

The two get treated as a scale, as though more of one meant less of the other. They aren't on the same axis at all.

Fear reports on the stakes; courage reports on what you did about them.

Anyone who claims their voice didn't shake either wasn't afraid or isn't telling you all of it. Finishing the sentence with the shake still in it is the whole event.
