Braveness, it is something that could define us

What does bravery mean to you? How can you say that a person is brave enough? Did he need to engage on a war just to prove that he is brave? Or maybe a master in using weapon. But for me, even the most coward person can turn into bravest one. There is no particular tool to used in order to measure how brave a person is. Bravery can varies into different aspects, for me it has no definite definition because even a little thing that we do can be considered braveness.

For me, you are already brave when you;

1.Give a second chance to someone

Not all people is willing and able to give a second chance to others especially if that person hurt them so badly. I admit that I'm one of those person who choose who I'm going to give a second chance because admit it or not, not everyone deserve a second chance. Based on my personal observation, it is so hard to give a second chance to those who repeatedly cheated on you even you already know the truth, they still didn't admit it. They just covered their mistakes by omitting another mistakes. But on the other corner of the story, I salute to those people who still willing give a person a second chance. For me, they are so brave on doing that because they already feel so much pain and also that person already broke your trust but still you choose to forgive and giving them a second chance.

2. Admit your mistakes

Admitting on your wrongdoings and mistakes is not only a sign of braveness but also a sign of maturity. You are so brave because you also ready to take all the consequences and responsibilities behind it. I'm glad when I heard someone saying " Sorry" especially when kids saying this because it seems that they already know the right thing. Don't ever be coward to apologize especially when you know that you are at fault because it can't never lessen you as a person but it is something that can help you to fix the relationship .

3.Saying "No"

Turning down on someone's favor and request especially when you know that it can harm to your feelings is also a sign of braveness. Saying "No" is not an act of selfishness because sometimes we only say this words in order to protect ourselves. But I can't deny that I find it so difficult in saying "No" because as much as possible , I still doing their request because I don't want them to feel so helpless. But at the end , we should still know our limit and boundaries in everything. I'm still on the process of learning to say "No" sometimes.

4.Stand up on something that you believe in

Standing up even sometimes you are the only one who believes on you is another story of braveness. Sometimes we just only need to voice out our sides to make them realize that we actually have a point. It is not only our mouth who speaks but most especially, it is our hearts and minds who voice out everything. The moment you stand up, the moment you also allowing yourself to be an independent one. Don't be afraid to make a stand even the majority is not favor in you.

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

5.Exploring New Adventure in Life

Learning new things in life is like a kid who is not wholly aware on what she is doing. There's no certain ending for it, maybe we loss or we learn some important in life. But I considered it as braveness because still ,we are ready to take a risk in order to ride on the cycle of life. By allowing ourselves to explore and learn, the more chances to understand the purpose why we still here, why we are still alive.

Closing Thoughts

Bravery is the audacity to be confident in walking to the journey without feeling any fear and guilt in us. At some point, some may still feel afraid but as long as we are willing to overcome it throughout the journey, it is a braveness. But just like on a normal trip and journey, it's not always the ending that happened. Sometimes time and problems will test us on how far our braveness will bring us but the most important thing about it is that we are still stand again after our downfalls. So dreamers, I want to appreciate everyone here for being a brave one especially on the times that we fight alone on our silent battles in life. For those eldest among siblings, you are so brave for sacrificing your own happiness for the sake of your whole family. For those students who still pursuing their studies even it is so hard. You are so brave on reaching your dreams. Appreciate yourself for being a brave woman/man throughout the years. We really deserve this kind of braveness and it could really define the real us.

Greetings!!
