Do you have the courage to be at the moment?

MANILA, Philippines – Courage isn’t just about having the guts to jump out of a plane, get on stage, or down on one knee. Being courageous is owning that moment and accepting yourself for who you are. Remember learning to ride a bike? The fear when you thought you could fall, and then you didn’t?

Discover the six courageous acts that inspire and encourage all kinds of courage brought by Ray-Ban's latest campaign entitled #ItTakesCourage. Dare to step up and do things you never thought you could.

Open Your Heart

Take that leap of faith in the name of love. Whether it is with a lover, a sibling, or a complete stranger. Sometimes it’s more important to reveal who you really are. You might get surprised what you’ll get in return.

Fight Perfection

The courage to reject society’s stereotypes and be happy being you. In this society where we all feel the pressure to achieve perfection, knock out false expectations. #ItTakesCourage to fight perfection and embrace the real you.

Face Critics

It takes courage to Face Critics; to do what you love despite knowing you are going to be judged for it. Life’s too short to take criticism seriously. Stand up, be proud, and don’t let fear of judgment hold you back.

Push Yourself

Despite all the warnings, a runner continues to break through her barriers – keep on going even if so many signs seem to tell to you quit. Believe in the courage to power on in pursuit of dreams big and small. #ItTakesCourage to Push Yourself.

Start New

Start New: The courage to leave the past as past and move forward to a brighter future ahead. Don’t let any baggage get in the way of a new chapter in your life.

Unplug

It takes courage to ditch the screen and truly connect in the real world, where you meet real people with real feelings. Unplug and experience life outside the digital world.
