Agreed, in an essence I think all these aspects are closely linked to each other and sometimes it becomes very hard to segregate them based on the technicalities. I guess no matter what we decide to call them, the final point is that we have to realise what we feel for or what matters the most to us.

You brought out a very strong point, bravery doesn’t come overnight, neither does character. I think it is a whole long process of man making and it is wonderful if we start enjoying it consciously. It never is easy facing so many challenges head on and it never is easy to be optimistic when things around us crumble. We all buckle down under stress but what matters is which of those reactions is temporary and which of those have a long standing effect. The ones which we respond to consistently largely defines the way we are going to lead our lives and the story we are going to associate ourselves with.

True Sunita, bravery sure comes from our past experiences and how we have dealt with them. There have been times where being brave has cost us a few things and times where it has rewarded us with big profits. Probably it is in the balance of the two where we find a solution. Having said that, it sure does bring out an adventurous spirit in us which we all can appreciate :)

Thank you Sahaj. I am glad you liked it :)

Indeed Maitreni. It is never an easy thing to muster but once mustered it can be the best thing we can really hope for. The spirit within is capable of a lot more than we can fathom :)

Spot on Somali :). The values are the ones which define us and make us do what we do, it also gives us power and conviction to what we stand for and the energy to keep going when the chips are down. These are the ones that truly define our character and make us who we really are…

Thank you Maniparna :). Life is hard it is as already, on the top of it when people say things, it often makes me feel like asking how :D :D . And I think in this case Brene Brown has a really nice way of putting it across :)
