BRAVERY

What is bravery?

Is it the courage to do what is right?

Or the resoluteness to complete a task?

Is it the boldness to say what needs to be said?

Or the audacity to follow a dream?

Is it defiance in the face of danger?

Or the confidence to excel?

Is it fortitude and grit?

Or a daring spirit?

It is a self-reliant attitude?

Or holding out against authority?

Is it grace, spunk and lots of heart?

Is it gallantry and valor?

Or contempt and rashness?

Is bravery manliness and hardihood?

Or prowess and heroism?

Is it confronting your fears?

Or being pugnacious?

All men aspire to be brave

And there is braveness

In all men
