Bravery is not the absence of fear. Bravery is feeling fear and doing what needs to be done anyway.
Chaos reigns; information and misinformation are all around. Trying to keep up with what is happening is overwhelming. You can’t do everything at once, yet…
I am brave, not because I am fearless, but because I have fear and do what is right anyway.
Sometimes you have to push through the fear and the discomfort and just show up. It’s not always easy; it is always important.
I understand the frustration, the fear, and the impatience. I even understand the violence, but I do not condone it. Violence is never the answer.
You can have fear, and still be brave. Bravery isn’t the absence of fear; bravery is being afraid and doing what needs to be done…
