Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to humiliate yourself in the presence of others by acknowledging your mistreatment of a friend or owning a personal failure. This isn’t the conventional concept of bravery, but it is real, deep down inside.
Then there is the bravery you feel as you proceed to follow a base impulse and move on ahead to who knows–a tragic mistake or absolutely exhilarating, spine tingling successful wild chance that leaves you dancing on clouds celebrating your brave choice. Sound familiar?
Could be acing a final exam, winning an athletic competition, or a coming out on top in a brawl, winning the favor of new mates–even sounds like sex. Dream on bravely.
The bravest thing could be facing your worst enemy–yourself. That is where it all begins and ends. It is up to you, so be brave and forge on.
