Brave is when you finally pick up the phone to tell one job opportunity that you've chosen another.
Brave is when you write a blog post exploiting yourself.
Brave is when you let your dog out to the bathroom in the middle of the night, gaze up at the stars, and don't let yourself be overcome with fear after watching too many episodes of Dr. Who.
Brave is saying okay, I'll do a science lesson in front of 24 kindergarteners as part of an interview process.
Brave is trying to put fear aside and sleep even though you know in the morning you need to go have a blood test.
Little acts of bravery. Not real bravery. But little get-up-and-do-it braveries.

"During this process, I’ve become convinced that a major sign of good character is actually being brave enough to say no to opportunities. To have the wisdom, discernment and courage to know when to say no, to do it with dignityWe Live Inspired
and accept the consequences." --James Prescott

ReplyDeleteI think most of life is made up of little acts of bravery. Not slaying dragons, but saying yes or no to difficult things or people, as the case warrants. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your writing.
ReplyDeleteHello Brave Woman! Yep, while Kel and I were house sitting I watched part of an episode of Dr. Who and it SCARED me! I UNDERSTAND totally about the being outside in the middle of the night.
ReplyDelete:-P hehe
DeleteNow I am going to have to watch Dr. Who to see what this is all about ( I have heard several people talking about it). :) I liked the simplicity of what you wrote here. I actually think bravery is a bunch of little everyday acts such as you described. It doesn't have to be big. Anyways, one brave little step at a time makes it all more manageable. BTW- thanks for linking to my blog so I could read yours and also for including my post in a suggested read. That was very kind of you!
ReplyDeleteNot being scared after watching a Doctor Who IS very brave. That werewolf one was the scariest for me. Eeks.
ReplyDeleteI love this post. I might even steal the idea someday...
