Bravery

To be brave isn’t always standing tall in the face of contention.

To be brave can be a moment when someone faces their inner darkness and triumphs.

Being brave isn’t always a public exposition for all to see.

Being brave can be waking up to face the world the next day, taking a chance to love someone, to care.

Bravery isn’t always banners and trumpets, it’s facing a darkness and overcoming it.

The inner battles when you are alone when the world laughs at you not with you.

Bravery is facing them yet again every time because it must be done, because you and only you can pull yourself through the moment, the deepest darkest moments when no one else is around to save you but you.

Bravery is continuing on even when the world has told you they don’t want you anymore.

Reaching in to find your inner light and being and reminding yourself to look to God in the moments when the negativity seems to drown you- so you look to Heaven and remind yourself that some way somehow your Heavenly Father has pulled you through the deepest pits of hell and can get you through this day too. You are not alone and you are loved.

Bravery is loving yourself and everything about you.

Bravery is forgivenesses.

Bravery is opening a door, a window, your heart once again and letting it heal, love and care for others.

Bravery is living life to the fullest and recognizing it as the gift it is.

You are alive, you are blessed in so many ways, bravery is the gratitude and grace that go with it all.
