Bravery

"I always wanted to be brave. I figured, do the brave thing and bravery would follow." - Belle - Once Upon A Time

What is the definition of bravery? I know it takes a certain amount of bravery to do the right thing, stand up for what you believe in and pursue your dreams. It's not easy to be brave. It's often overwhelming and scary to  change something in your life. A habit, a routine can cause something in you to shift, making you discover a part of yourself you didn't know existed.
All heroes in stories must be brave. In order to do so, they have to accept their situation or at least acknowledge it, and then do something about it. It's one of those simple but difficult decisions to make. Once you change something about yourself, or your life, you discover that you have what it takes to make a difference. Whether this act is a simple response or a well thought out plan, the result is the same. Being brave is an opportunity to learn what you can do. It's more than just a decision, it is a step toward becoming who you want to be.
