(excerpt taken from Pat Mesiti’s new book “Soaring Higher”)

‘It is easy to be brave from a safe distance’ - Aesop

Isn't it amazing how many people can give you advice on something they have never experienced? It is like the spectator who shouts to the sportsman what he ought to do and yet he has never been on the playing field. Bravery isn't about being loud or aggressive from the sidelines, it is showing resolve and strength in the forward line.

Poet Edgar A Guest puts it like this:

Bravery is not a brilliant dash, a daring deed in a moment’s flash,
It isn't an instantaneous thing born of despair and a sudden spring,
But something deep in the soul of man that is working always to serve some plan.

Bravery means you continue to live life even when you have no will to do so. Bravery does not mean that everything turns out okay. It is about having backbone and courage to act decisively even when you are scared half to death. DS Jordan said, 'Act brave. The world steps aside for the man who acts like he knows where he is going.'

There is something inside human beings that causes them to be brave in spite of adversity, in spite of hostility, in spite of the odds. I remember a discussion with a friend of mine who said true bravery is like a kite. A contrary wind raises it higher and higher. 

You see, bravery is about falling but not yielding. Bravery is not giving in to what wants to drag you down and put you out. It is that quality in a champion that gets him up one more time when everyone thinks he is out for the count. It is about getting up and not giving in. Bravery is that quality of mind that makes us forget how afraid we really are, but we go on anyway. 

To the brave and the true, nothing is difficult. You would be surprised how often bravery and sheer nerve succeeds. I have learned never to consult anyone who is a coward or anyone who has not faced adversity in life or business. 

The simple prayer of theologian Reinhold Niebuhr sums up the spirit of bravery:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Challenge

Like a kite that rises higher in a strong and contrary wind, right now there may be contrary winds blowing against your life. The winds may be blowing against your marriage, or your finances, or your business. Now is not the time to run, now is the time to be brave. And allow the challenging winds lift you higher.
