Be Brave Enough to Show Up

Following our hearts and opening them up can be scary. In order for us to stay true to our authentic selves we need to be brave enough to show up even when we are scared. 

Most of us tend to keep our hearts guarded and closed off all because the what if's start piling up and we start worrying about what people will think of us, if we are good enough, if we are smart enough or strong enough. Being brave means showing up even when we don't want to. Showing up even if it means we are stepping outside of our comfort zones, even if we are not quite sure we are ready. Is anyone ever ready enough to be brave? 

Bravery doesn't mean hiding in the corner because it's easier for us to do that. It doesn't mean that we down play ourselves because we are not sure we are good enough to step up our game. Bravery simply means listening to your inner voice guide you and stepping into that moment of fear. Why? It is in that moment when you're brave that you grow into someone magical. Someone who doesn't let your fears over come you, someone who just because they're scared shows up anyways. When you're scared, it means you care. 

Be brave, even if it means you fail, even if it means you mess up along the way. Be brave even when you're unsure or uncertain of the outcome. Be brave even when you don't think you can. Bravery is inside all of us.
