Val, It would be easy to say it is just too hard and quit. It would be easy to ignore and hide, to say “I can’t”.


That is not you.


That is not any of the people that have stuck this out, examined self and grown.


Growth isn’t hard, growth will come naturally. Creating the environment for growth is hard. Facing yourself deep down is frightening and that is something we all have to do creating the environment for growth.


Just a few quotes about Bravery:

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
J. K. Rowling


If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. Patton


Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.
Omar N. Bradley


The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.
Robert Anthony


And for perseverance I have always liked Theodore Roosevelt’s speech about the man in the arena.
