A Few Notes On Nurturing A Brave Life

By Gregory Hayes


Being afraid can make one lose key opportunities in life. There is no selectivity in fear as it can affect anyone. In fact, fear is considered a normal physiological reaction. It only becomes abnormal if it cripples the day to day activities of a person. For this reason, nurturing a brave life is important for any individual who wishes to succeed in their life.

First and foremost, one needs to acknowledge the fact that fear exists. Trying to ignore or assume the fear only makes it worse. Acknowledgement alone is one step higher to finding a solution. It gives the individual some control over the situation at hand. This is because the individual gets to spend more time handling the issue at hand instead of focusing on being afraid.

Once the problem has been acknowledged, one them needs to face it with an aim of scoring points day by day, regardless of how minute the points may be. The individual needs to be extremely patient and be assured that any good thing comes after an appreciable period of time. With patience come achievements, one after the other.

The next thing that one needs to do is to find a mentor. It is easier to journey through life when you have someone you can identify with and look up to. There are people who may have similar experiences as you and have a success story to tell. Learning from mistakes that such people have made in the past acts as a guide to your own struggles. The ideal mentor is one who is slightly older or just about the same age.

Bravery calls for a very supportive family and friends. Every single day is lived with the advantage of loved ones being by your side. The support empowers one to soar to greater heights as they are being cheered on with love and admiration. One is able to brave challenges regardless of whatever comes their way because they know they have somebody to go home to.

There are many areas in life that require one to be courageous. A woman in labour, for example, needs to be brave enough to be able to deliver the baby successfully. Courage is equally crucial for anyone diagnosed with a serious condition or one that may be terminal. Another situation where bravery may be needed is in public speaking.

A support system outside the family is something worth considering especially if the matter is too grave for one to handle alone. There are many other people out there who may be in the same predicament. Coming together to share experiences enables an individual to cope with theirs. For instance, there are several support groups available for people with serious or terminal illnesses.

In summary, bravery can be achieved by any person, regardless of the circumstances they are in. All that is required, in most cases, is acknowledging that hurdles do exist in life. It is possible to jump over these hurdles with patience and determination no matter now difficult it may appear at the beginning.
