Sharing the background photo that has been on my phone for over a year now. It is not easy to be brave. The definitions of being brave make it sound so much harder than it should be. Being brave is being able to breathe and stay calm for the next five minutes. We cannot control the things around us. We can only control our actions and how we react to a situation.
This past week for me, I was tested in ways I have never been before. The only way I remained brave for the next five minutes was being able to control my actions and how I reacted.  None of us are truly brave but we are good at pretending and after a while we begin to believe it. Life does not get easier we just get stronger. ❤
