CIRCUITOUS • HARD-WON • IMPATIENT

Annie P. Ruggles knows she’s brave—But it took a long time for her to recognize and admit it. For years, Annie believed bravery was reserved for grand acts. But now Annie sees that getting out of her comfort zone and doing small Brave acts throughout the day are what count most. There’s a power in every day brave, folks. Let’s get into it.

Top Takeaways:

  • Your name is your title. It’s how you declare yourself to the world.
  • It’s hard to let go of moments where we feel rejected or embarrassed. But just because it hurts a lot doesn’t mean it has to matter a lot.
  • What other people think of you is none of your business.
  • If the thing scares us the most, it’s usually a pretty good indicator that it’s something we ought to try.
  • Everything you want is just on the other side of uncomfortable.
  • After a while of doing something brave, it becomes effortless.
  • Feeling any of your feelings is brave, but especially allowing yourself to feel fear.
