Dash of Courage: New 7 Wonders of the World

"For any movement to gain momentum, one must start with a small action."- Adam Braun

You've heard of the 7 Wonders of the World - Great Wall, Taj Mahal, Machu Picchu etc.

But I believe there are 7 Wonders of a Courageous Life - the things we wonder about the most.  

1. Travel & Adventure
2. Health & Fitness
3. Impact Goals
4. Jet Ski Goals - These are Material goals just more memorable. As the meme goes "I've never seen a sad person on a Jet Ski"
5. Professional Goals
6. Creative Goals
7. Relationship Goals

These are the categories that light up our life.
Most people wonder about them. Few do something about them.

Why? One word: Resistance

Steven Pressfield nailed it in The Art of War: Resistance is that invisible force keeping you from doing the thing you say that matters most - especially your creative work.

You want to write, launch, build, express, create.
But you scroll. You stall. You stay stuck.

The Solution: Two words: Creative Sprint

I'm talking about 7 days. 14 days. 30 days.
Something like 75 Hard - but for the Soul.
Show up. Ship it. Don't overthink it. Just make it.

But here's the part most people skip: Permission to be Awful.
Because greatness doesn't start perfect, it needs to be polished.
You can't get to impossible without pushing through imperfect.

You don't need clarity to take action.
You need Action to find Clarity.
If there was an 8th Wonder, it would be Momentum.

When I get stuck creatively, I don't wait for the muse. I build a runway for her to land.
One of my upcoming sprints? Finishing a new talk on Achieving the Impossible--where I unpack all 7 Wonders and how action, not intention, determines destination

Dash of Courage
Make one bold move. Today.
Not perfect. Not polished. Just possible.

Write one page a day
Post one video
Design one thing
Practice Guitar for 10 minutes
Do 3 push-ups. Do 4 tomorrow
Share one story from your life
Make one bold ask
Whatever it is - Sprint.

The world doesn't need more Bucket Lists.
It needs small starts with Serious Soul.

Courage over Comfort,
Garrett
