There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes it involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater. To reach beyond the mundane and commit your life to a higher cause. Neither of these are easy, but those can muster up the strength, are surely destined for abundance. But sometimes it doesn't even take all that much. Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life. That is the sort of bravery I must have now.
