When I think of bravery, I think of all the people who choose to be themselves through all the struggles, and the self-talk that seems to sometimes hold back progress.
To me, being brave is the act of living and truly showing up for one another, as we would expect. Most of us look at the world with either rose colored glasses or as a battlefield, and with each comes the need for bravery to make the most of it. There will always be someone who wants you to change either for the worse or for the better.
It takes a lot of pure bravery to only allow yourself to be swayed in a way of your own choosing. Bravery is an everyday thing. Be brave today.
