Five Minute Friday (on Tuesday) BRAVE!

BRAVE. I used to think people that were brave weren’t afraid of anything. I thought of them as fearless and that meant that I could never be BRAVE because I am scared of lots of things!

I don’t think that anymore! Now I think that being BRAVE people are just as scared as me, but they do the hard things anyway. I can do that. I can be scared and afraid and still try. 

People who are BRAVE sometimes fail. In the movies and on TV, it seems like the brave always win everything that they try. Again, I mess things up ALL THE TIME, so it became another reasons I would never be BRAVE.

NO! Brave means doing something hard and sometimes failing. The BRAVE part is doing it and the BRAVEr part is doing it again and again until I succeed. 

I am BRAVE. I do things. I try. I’m scared, but still in there and trying. I fail. I try again and again. I don’t give up easily. I am BRAVE!
