Crying doesn’t cancel your courage. Some of the bravest things ever done had tears in them.

Tears are not a verdict on how brave you are. Your body reacts to stakes with a tight throat, shaking hands and crying that shows up at the worst possible time, and none of that reports on whether you can do the thing anyway. Plenty of hard moments have been handled by somebody with a wet face.

If you cry easily, stop reading it as proof you cannot handle pressure. Say out loud that this is just what your body does, then keep talking. People mostly freeze around tears because nobody told them what to do.
