Meaning
This is about closing the gap between intention and outcome through sustained effort. It can be taken to mean that courage begins the movement, but discipline is what keeps it alive long enough to matter. It lands when a goal feels far away and progress depends less on inspiration than on continuing through discomfort, delay, and uncertainty.
