Being brave enables you to stand out and face your fears. Bravery is portrayed through actions. As much as your words may dictate how brave you are, your actions play an essential role in proving your bravery. To be a leader, you have to be wise and brave. You have to speak words of wisdom and courage. Your actions also have to reflect your wisdom and bravery. That way, people will recognize, honor, and trust you. These brave quotes will teach you the meaning of bravery, and how to be brave in life.
We are all brave in our own ways. Being brave is doing what you are afraid to do, no matter the challenges, critics, or fears. For example, to succeed in a war, you have to be brave so that you are able to face your enemies with bravery and courage.
At times, we tend to measure bravery through academic excellence or the measure of IQ. However, there is more to the bravery than just the measure of intelligence quotient and academic excellence. Bravery is the ability to provide solutions to real problems that face challenges.
