Brave Is The New Beautiful!
You will not always be strong, but you can always be brave.
There are times in life when we feel that bravery is something that should stay with us forever. However, the truth is, bravery is a battle that we fight everyday. When tough times come, we end up being vulnerable. Women are always considered emotionally sensitive. They are perceived as the first ones to cry, the ones who easily give in. It's true. But what I've learnt is that a little bravery coupled with a little passion can go a long way for us.
Through all these years, I've collected memories, both bitter and sour. I've been with the good, bad and otherwise. I've always wanted to make the world a better place to live in, a world where someone someday tells me, "She had told us already." Here are a few things from the stable that I've experienced and learnt from!
- Live your life with passion: It's important for everyone to know that passion is all we should ever live for. When you have that fire burning within you, that's when you know you're doing it right.
- Practice emotional first-aid: When life sinks you to rock bottom, you should always remember that you're the own hero of your life. Take up the challenges and work towards them. In no time, you will realize that you turned out to be just fine.
- Live with a sense of pride: Always know that you're important. Whatever you do, make sure that you live with pride. Celebrate your achievements, spend time with your loved ones and value the things that matter to you the most. Wear your confidence like a shield and let the world wonder.
- Strive to be brave, if not strong: With so many ups and downs in my life, I've learnt that it's important to be brave if we cannot be strong. Bravery is not a one-time thing. It comes with a lot of commitment and practice. Let nothing hold you back.
- Dream big, always: No matter what happens in life, you should always live your dream. Dreams keep us alive. Travel to unimaginable places and learn new things. Learn to live each day like it's the best day of your life.
- Be your own kind of beautiful: You never need to fit in the glass slippers. Everybody should create a life that others want to live. You are unique and different in your own way. Stay like that, you.
Having said all of this, I want you to know that our lives aren't like novels. They aren't really neatly written with beautiful endings. They are messy, scribbled and sometimes end between sentences. What we can do is write our own little story. It's important to remember that your story might never be known to the world. It can be lost. All we can do is, write a little adventurous chapter each day, speak new languages, meet people from foreign lands, fall in love with someone, dance to the song of the heart and live our life with a little passion and fire. In no time, we'll find our little books a collection of fat memories of the past. I want someone to open your book and say, "When we don't always paint it perfect, it always turns out fine." Let your canvas speak and the world stare in awe.
On difficult days, when the world is on your shoulders; remember that diamonds are always made under the weight of mountains.
