The courage to step onto the stage

Giving a round of applause costs nothing,but putting yourself out there does.

It means facing the possibility of making mistakes, of feeling vulnerable.

Even on bad days, it's better to be there, centre stage, than to stay on the sidelines.

You don't have to be perfect.

You don't have to shine every single time.

You just have to try.

It's your presence that makes all the difference, and that's where everything happens.
