Do Epic Shit.” I have put a lot of thought into what it means to me to be brave. One of my favorite taglines I made up for my own life is “Be Brave. This is where I think the definition of bravery starts to diverge from what it actually means. But I’ve seen portraits of bravery show up as someone who appears stoic and doesn’t show vulnerability or cry. In cartoons, the hero or heroine is often characterized as someone who is brave- someone who will go into battle knowing that the consequences could be dire. For most, it usually has something to do with having to get a shot at the doctor or getting an injury of some kind and then an adult telling us to be brave. The first memories I have of someone using the word brave is when I was a little kid. Being brave is not about the absence of fear, it’s about having the courage to be vulnerable – to press on in spite of fear.
