The Story Behind #65: Courage Demotivational Poster

What is courage? Some say it is achieving something and that involves risk and challenge and vulnerability. Some say it is being a leader. Some say courage is being outspoken. I think courage is a lot of things incorporating all of those attributes. But courage is almost being smart.

Intelligence and forethought are an essential part of being courageous. Without those, you can’t overcome anything or lead anyone or speak out in any way. A courageous person is a leader in many ways and who can lead without smarts? There are far too many people who think being the loudest or most confident person makes you courageous and strong but it doesn’t. The truly courageous person is the one who plots a path and overcomes fear and pushes themselves to achieve. It’s not the person who leaps before the rest of the pack so they can look like a hero. Don’t ever fall in line behind someone who swears up and down that they are courageous, they will lead you straight off a cliff.

It really is about a belief and courage to look inside yourself. Sometimes the most courageous person is the one who knows when to say no. A lot of people fall in line with who they perceive to be the most courageous person but without the sort of self-courage to ask yourself if you're making the right move, that could lead to disaster. How many people have fallen into financial ruin or inner turmoil because they have drunk the Kool-Aid of those they blindly trust?

No, if you want to be courageous, it's got to be all about your own courage and not that of others. Leading yourself - for better or for worse - is one of the most courageous things you can do.

The Story Behind taleas Demotivational Posters

We have all seen motivational posters in a number of places. From bedrooms to classrooms to offices, it seems that everyone needs some motivation at times.

There is nothing wrong with that, sure enough, those posters of the cat "hanging in there" have helped a lot of people over the years. But sometimes you need something that is a bit more direct and frank. Sometimes you need something like the Taleas demotivational poster.

As you know, traditional motivational posters typically use white frames and black backgrounds with a centered inspirational image that is generally about teamwork making the dream work or practicing patience and endurance. That's not quite the route I took. Mockingly, demotivational posters use the same light on black format with either an ironic image and sarcastic caption or an inspirational image with a sarcastic caption. In keeping with the usual whimsical and cartoony Taleas style, I have decided to create a collection of cute, funny, sarcastic, and light demotivational posters in my own style. While it's a very stark departure from the expected format I feel like it presents the dark and sarcastic tones in a more lighthearted manner.

And who knows, maybe these can motivate you like the others. Sure, they don't have the same gentle, soft phrasing as traditional motivational posters but that doesn't mean they don't carry the same power. Sometimes you need swift kick in the rear end to get moving and sometimes you need a cynical and sarcastic point of view to put the world into perspective. That's exactly what you'll get with these demotivtional posters.
