Most brave moments are small: one sentence in one room where everyone else went quiet.
RESILIENCE
RESILIENCE
Courage rarely looks like the version in films. Mostly it is a room that has gone quiet, a thing that was just said, and the two seconds in which somebody could say something back. It is hard because there is no adrenaline to carry you and no crowd to approve afterwards, only you and a short sentence you are allowed to skip.
Decide on the sentence now, while nothing is happening, so you are not composing it under pressure. Keep it short and unclever. Then when a room goes quiet, you will have something ready instead of something to regret.
What sentence have you swallowed when a room went quiet?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
