Be Brave

Brave: to face or endure with courage

Courage: mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty

Persevere: to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counterinfluences, opposition, or discouragement.

Big words. Where does one actually find the strenghth to venture, persevere and withstand danger, fear or difficulty in spinte of counterinfluences, oppositon or discouragement?

I think everyday we need to be brave ... some days more than others ... but everyday none the less. I seem to make big changes in my life often that bring such big changes, opposition ... that I must remind myself to stand tall ... to be brave.

There are emotional roads we choose ... perhaps not conciously, perhaps with a sixth sense, but a path we need to travel to strengthen our character; a journey we must complete to become the who whom we are meant to be.

If you know me well then you know many of my journeys have been trecherous. I have made difficult choices, not always the right ones, but the tough ones, that in the end have made me search the depths of my soul for courage and perseverence.

So as a new day dawns I remind myself to stand tall, be true to myself and my children, to Be Brave and to Live Life.
