Some of the bravest choices look like walking away. From a fight, a dare, a bad crowd.

Brave acts get pictured as doing something, which is why the versions that involve not doing something go unnoticed. Leaving earns no applause and frequently looks like fear from outside. That is precisely what makes it hard, because you have to be the only person who knows the difference. Nothing visible happens and something significant has.

Think of one situation you keep walking back into out of habit. Decide now what you will do instead at the moment it comes up, because that decision is nearly impossible to make on the spot.
