Bravery.

I am starting to feel like bravery has more to do with accepting ourselves and our flaws and understanding our emotions completely, than it has to do with anything else in life. Being able to say that you're sorry, being able to admit you've made severe mistakes, being able to look at yourself in the mirror and accept the person you see, in spite of the flaws, takes bravery. Sparing a few kind words to yourself is bravery, just a by example. You might not necessarily feel like you've bettered your own capabilities by accepting yourself but make no mistakes, you have bettered yourself by accepting yourself. You have made major improvements, improvements that you will slowly but surely witness in your life. You'll get more confident, you'll get less stressed out by things that you have no control over. You won't be bothered so easily. You won't lose control of yourself easily too. Little changes like these are what will enable you to smile in the bigger picture. 

Love, peace.
