I love my grandfaughter, but I really don't like her. She's one of the mean girls.

I believe there's a big difference between courage and bravery. Bravery requires my own energy and inner strength and defenses. Courage seems to require trust. Not so much my own strength. Except the strength to trust...especially to trust God.

I know brave has saved my life when I needed to stand up and be heard. Bravery was the impetus to say No More to harmful people. And bravery helped me say yes to what I knew to be true and would no longer tolerate.

A long slow life of being brave for myself and my children has left me tired.

Now I'm leaning into courage. I'm finding it too can not only save but restore a life.

I wonder what you think the difference is between bravery and courage?

For me what is hard is to organize my time since I get caught in so many different interests. All of them are relevant and take much of my time, while still having to care for my family, due to particular needs...as well as living in a city and commuting to a different one to work every week. But what really holds me back is the fear of exposure, self-inage issues and doubts about restrictions on my job, because professors have a so-called exclusive dedication here in my country and everytime I want to do something creative of my own I freeze because I feel like I would be going against some of the rules in my job (which I want to fully respect). This absence of clarity about things that I am allowed or not to do always hold me back on doing personal projects, so I end up channeling my energy to the job itself, which is much safer. Hopefully in the future there will be more clarity about the dos and don'ts and I will know better how to balance my work with other projects that I can develop appropriately.

I had a similar life-changing experience with the VIA assessment. Zest was my first one. The thing I had been smothering and muting because I thought it was "too much" for others. Now I remind myself that I am "zesty" every morning.
