Bluffing

The universe will stop trying to intimidate you, once you demonstrate that there's nothing that it can do to make you feel intimidated.

Life won't shrink so you can feel superior. Yet your predicaments will shrivel the moment you soar, the moment you stare back, the moment you walk towards and not away from them, the moment you growl back louder than they ever have.

Once your courage gets bigger, your obstacles will get smaller; not necessarily because they shrank but because they were never as big as they touted themselves to be.  

Challenges will bluff at you many times because they know from previous experiences that it doesn’t take much to deter many people.
