- There are times that I don't want to admit I was wrong. That takes courage. It may seem like an easy thing to do. Just say you are sorry and try again. That's what I tell my daughter to do. How come it is so hard for me to do the same thing?
- Speaking to someone you don't know. I am more guarded when meeting new people. I fear making a friend and then dealing with the possibility that they don't want to be my friend.
- Doing what is right when everyone else isn't.
- Saying "no" when people are trying to get you to do something you know you shouldn't.
- Telling the truth and accepting the consequences.
- Standing up for something you believe in even though it might mean rejection or ridicule or even physical harm.
- Defending someone who is considered unpopular or unacceptable.
- Facing a limitation and giving it your very best regardless of pain or discomforts.
- Confronting a fear without running away.
- Giving sacrificially to protect or promote either someone you love, someone who has been wronged, or someone who is in need.
- Being the only one.
- Taking a risk.
- Sharing your heart honestly (including your feelings and fears and failures).
Some of these things seem so simple written out as a sentence, but the semantics behind the words presents chance for bravery.
