True strength isn't the absence of fear but the courage to face it head-on.

Remember Violet's first daunting day at Basgiath War College? Instead of succumbing to fear, she channeled it into determination, proving that courage isn't born, it's forged.

• Courage Over Fear: Violet’s journey underscores that bravery often comes from stepping into fear rather than avoiding it.
• Growth Through Challenge: Overcoming fear serves as a catalyst for personal development and self-discovery.
• Empowerment through Vulnerability: Embracing fear allows for genuine connections and deeper self-awareness.

Identify something you’re afraid of and take a small step towards confronting it today, like researching more about it or speaking with someone who's overcome it.

Avoid thinking that fear is something you must completely eliminate; embrace it as a natural partner in all worthy challenges.

Trust, once built, becomes the strongest shield against adversity and doubt.

Think of the pivotal moments when Violet and her allies relied on each other’s trust. Just like how a team hoisting a climber depends on each one’s grip, trust propels collective strength.

• Strengthened Bonds: Trust creates unbreakable bonds that can endure any storm.
• Facilitates Collaboration: Trust fosters an environment where true teamwork and cooperation flourish.
• Cultivates Honesty: It encourages open communication and the sharing of authentic selves.

Reach out to someone you trust and share something vulnerable, strengthening your bond with honesty.

Avoid assuming trust can be demanded or forced; it must be patiently and consistently cultivated over time.

Change is a constant companion in life's journey; embracing it with grace can unlock unexpected doors.

Violet's transition from the safety of her old life to the unpredictable world of dragon riders wasn't without fear. Yet, embracing the change led her to forge new paths and discover newfound strengths.

• Opportunity in Uncertainty: Change provides the fertile ground for personal and professional growth.
• Enhances Resilience: Navigating through change builds adaptability and strength.
• Inspires Creativity: Change fuels innovation and broadens perspectives.

Identify an area of your life resisting change and list three potential benefits that embracing it could bring.

Resist the urge to cling to old habits or comfort zones as constant anchors; see them as springboards.
