We’re all cowards sometimes.

I used to think brave people were born brave, cowards born cowards. Movies and books play into this paradigm.

We are all brave sometimes and cowardly other times.

Bravery and cowardice define one another.

Instead of asking, “Am I a coward?” let’s ask, “When am I a coward? Under what circumstances?”

Often times, cowardice comes from doing nothing, from inaction.

Let’s be aware of the circumstances where we cower.

Let’s seek slow steady growth. Life may be a journey from cowardice to bravery (how many stories are about this journey?).

It’s okay to be a coward so long as we’re brave.

Cowardice happens by default.

Seek the brave.
