Bravery 101

Have you been called to be brave? It does not come easy...it takes an inner strength-- often when we don't feel like we have any strength at all. Sometimes we have to be brave when it feels like the world is telling us no. We have to be brave when we realize we don't have easy answers. We must look to our brave side when we have to lean on ourselves because there is no one else. Life takes bravery.

The cycles of life ebb and flow through easy times and times that test us. There are times when we think we've had to be brave and then we meet someone who has been pushed to the very edge of bravery and we realize we have never had it so bad.  There is always someone else battling something worse than you. There is always another who faces humbling circumstances on a daily basis in which they are called on to exert their bravest selves.  It is as if bravery is served in the exact amount that is needed at the time...never too much...like toothpaste from a tube.  It need be applied, however.

If you need to  practice bravery in your life right now, turn to stories where others have drawn upon their inner strength an applied resilience to their lives. Model other strong people who, at their moment of deepest need, didn't know how they would pull through, either. By the very act of pushing through, they made it. Fix your eyes on a brave person for their perseverance is there as a real-life you tube video for you to examine. You can learn from another's tenacity to make it through a tough time. You are learning now.

Look around and see the brave people around you. Even in your darkest hour you will see another's strength and it will inspire you. People are made to handle a lot. You can, too.

Take Good Care Today.
