About This Quote
Bravery is the choice to show up and listen to another person, be it a loved one or perceived foe, even when it is uncomfortable, painful, or the last thing you want to do. It’s choosing to put someone else’s feelings and needs before your own. It’s not giving up on your values and beliefs when they are challenged by new information. It’s taking responsibility for the impact of your words and actions — not just taking credit for things that go right and leaving out things that go wrong.
