Staying Brave

There is so much fear in the world.  I know we're going through a terrible pandemic and we probably have lots of fear. However, we have to remember bravery can help conquer those fearful moments.  

It is difficult being brave, but it's better than living the fear of life. I understand I could maybe die from a seizure, but I stay brave because bravery leads to the right path. It is a great skill under leadership and strength. Instead of fearing, I just live the best life I can make and live in the moment.  

Ever since I heard I have epilepsy, I've been nothing but a warrior who fights to believe what's right. It's healthy to stay brave because that's what keeps us motivated and makes us feel strong.  There are so many ways on how to stay brave, like positive self talk, being mindful, learning from mistakes, paying attention to the right and wrong signs in life, taking the good with the bad, and more. 

Being brave doesn't mean having a cape, shield, sword, bow and arrow, etc. It means not letting yourself be held back by the things you don't have. Having this gift defines our spirits and how we approach things. My personal experience is surviving three concussions and I'm still fighting for my life.  

Living in the dark can lead us down the wrong path. It is our choice to open the door in order to see the light. The light can help us guide our lives and keep us strong. This is why staying brave is very important and a beneficial life skill. Sometimes fear can be a good thing, because facing it is what shows how much bravery we have.
