To Be Brave

To Be Brave


It takes a lot to be brave. Millions around the world go through each day worried about so many things, afraid to move forward in life. We must release our fears, because they can really hold us back. Fears are born out of our subconscious and are a part of our mortality. It is easy to fear getting a promotion or furthering your education, but you won’t know what it is like until you try. You have to be brave.

Fear attacks the rational side of our mind. Sometimes we even have some unfounded fears which are not really a fear of any one single thing but more of a fear of moving ahead in life. Many people are afraid of both the unknown and change itself. It is a shame that many people are terrified of leaving their comfort zone. Why must we cling to all our old ways when there is so much more waiting for us on the other side? Embrace your soul and move forward without any fear. You will feel so much better when you’ve pushed onto new shores.


We are often afraid of moving forward in three categories in life: friendship, relationships, and career oriented matters. Those three things tend to scare us badly. Many cannot handle losing their own best friend or making new ones, as is trying to find a new mate or taking the relationship with an old one to a whole new level. Additionally, we are always worried that a new, better paying job will be more difficult. These are all fears attempting to throw a monkey wrench into your life. Celebrate your victories and conquer fear. Fear is always our enemy. We must put on a brave face and become more than we are. Sure, it might be scary to have to move on up in life but the risk is worth the reward.

Fear can also be environmental. We have things in our living environment that may not be okay or just flat out abusive. We have to release those bonds and find a way out of our hopeless situations. We are stronger than we could imagine and just have to face our captors head on. Do not worry about consequences, as only someone who is doing evil will hate you for being brave. Love will help you through your time of sorrow, as we all need to believe in ourselves, and need to love ourselves. When we love ourselves we will be brave and attempt to escape our captor’s hands.

So many people are afraid of the unknown and pain that it is a shame that we do not think of the good things in life. There are so many positive things that happen when we face our fears and become stronger in life. We do not need this world as there is so many positive rewards that come from gaining self esteem as we face our problems. Whenever we fight back in life, we become heroes, ones who can stand against the wrong doings of our world. We can become enlightened and we can eliminate our fears. Be fearless, as your foes will crumble before your bravery. Fear is all in the mind, and you have all that you need inside to overcome it.
