  SPEAKER_00: Let your body find a position that feels steady, feet grounded, spine soft, nothing forced.

  SPEAKER_00: You don't need to see the whole path today.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: You only need this breath and then the next one and the willingness to take a single step.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: Something ahead of you matters.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: Something you've been circling, maybe putting off, maybe just quietly afraid of.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: Let it come to mind now.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: Not to solve it, just to let it be here with you.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: Steady, breathing evenly.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Not because the fear disappeared, but because you learned the breath could hold you through it.

  SPEAKER_00: That version of you turns back for a moment.

  SPEAKER_00: You say to yourself, I remember not knowing if I could.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: I could.

  SPEAKER_00: One breath carried me to the next.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: And then the next one did too.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: Notice too that the path doesn't ask you to be fearless.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: It only asks you to keep breathing while you walk it.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone who has ever moved forward through something hard did it exactly this way.

  SPEAKER_00: Feel that steadiness now in this body, in this moment.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: Your shoulders can soften.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: This is what courage actually feels like from the inside, not fearless, just breathing, just here, and still moving.

  SPEAKER_00: Feel the surface beneath you, your back, here, now, steadier than when you started.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever is ahead of you today, you don't have to meet all of it at once.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: Just the next breath, just the next step.
