What Would You Do Today If You Were Brave?

[The Big PINK One♥]

I was reading an excerpt from an online magazine about some phenominal women. The title read "What Would You Do Today if You Were Brave" and it made me think... what would some of us do today if we werent scared of the things that we are scared of? If we didn't care what other people thought? If we could be someone else?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

[LiL ThUg iT JaYe]

This is a very good question, indeed...lol. If I were brave ? If today I was not scared of the things I am scared of? If I didn't care what other people thought? If I could be someone else?

If I were brave? I am not brave sadly to say, but its not the end of the world for me, lol. I don't think ever a day in my life have I been brave. I have helped people, but I don't believe in my mind that it is true bravery. I believe true bravery is life or death, the courage to step up to the plate, and getting into a mind set, positive and confident, not thinking that you are being brave, but that you are simply helping a person in the best way you know how. Bravery occurs everday all day, it is never ending. When a surgeon performs life saving surgery that is true bravery, or zoologist who get up close and in depth with wild animals to put them in capativity to show to the world and educate people on them, and take them out of the wild that could have a high percent possibility of not surviving very long due to enemies and predators, that is also bravery in my eyes. But now I sit back and think, there are times when someone was in need and I helped them, it was bravery. I think Bravery can be different in everyone's eyes, but at the same time show you that self-accomplishment is bravery.

If today I was not scared of the things I am scared of? What would I be doing today. If today I was not scared of the things I am scared of? I bet I would be in a helicopter on a swim rescue mission with the United States coast guard rescue swim team. I love water, always have. I love to swim and feel the water all over my body, soak in a warm bubble bath, talk to friends in a sizzling hot spa. Water is relaxing and it just does something for me. I know that if I wasn't so scared of heights or so scared to just jump out a moving helicopter into water and save someone, that I would, but I am scared. I think if the moment came and the fear wasn't set aside I would be scared, choke, and not do it, just live with the fact that I was scared and implus for me wasn't there, but if I wasn't scared. I know that in a heartbeat I would be in that water saving someone. I don't have an obsession for the coast gaurd but it's always been in my mind. My grandfather on my father's side who I never knew was a coast guard rescue swimmer. I became very emotional one day, when things about my father and his side of the family came up, and it upset me. My mom had told me that my grandfather on my father's side was a coast gaurd some how the subject was being talked about. I researched it studied it, it was like it had become apart of my life. So if I today I was not scared of the things I am scared of I would be a United States coast guard rescue swimmer.

If I didn't care what people thought? I usually depending on the person and what they have to say, will determine my reaction to it. If its someone I don't know or don't care about, what comes out their mouths I could care less about, I know it can sound arroguant, but its the way it has to be sometimes. On the other hand if it was someone I cared about or a really good friend. I don't think I would be offended or take it harshly. I know that it would be honesty, and I like honesty not lies, so I would be okay with it, but I always try to keep in mind. It's not what you say it's how you say it. But truly in the end its not about what people have to say about it, it's about what you think and how you feel about it.

If I could be someone else. I don't want to be anyone else I am fine with who I am as a person. Life is about always learning and knowledge is pain half of the time, but I don't think I want to be anyone else. I have been a baby and grown up to be who I am, so if I wanted to be someone else, the change should have been done long, long ago, but I'm content and happy with who I am. All that people can do, is make their own higher growth.

LOL....thanks, the question was great. I never thought about anything like that, until I saw this. Thanks for asking by the way, lol...almost forgot that.

My god, if I didn't care what other people thought of me I might be a totally different person. I'm one of the most insecure people I have ever met (maybe that's just because most insecre people hide it). I don't really try to be someone else, but I'm always afraid that people will think I'm stupid because of what I wear, or if I don't wear make-up. I'm always afraid that I'm not good enough, and if I could get rid of it maybe I could have a little bit of confidence.

I don't know if I'd live here if I were brave, not that I don't like my parents, or that they're mean to me, but if I were brave I might be with him, or maybe I'd go on more trips without him.

Maybe I would have sent stuff in to be published already. Maybe I'd be sucessful or have a job. Maybe I'd actually feel like I was living instead of floating.

If today I were braved.. I would love anyone who I wanted to love. I chose love beacause though it may sound simple..it is the greatest risk you could do.. you might get hurt or not loved in return..

I think I'm brave... for the most part anyways =\
Well, I do like to embarrassed my self in public. But it all depends how I do it. Like if I fall, I crack up laughing on the floor for a minute or two. I like to scream random things like "VIGINA BLOOD" when I'm on my period, or better yet saying "cruisin' down the crimson river" =]
Life would be boring if people wern't brave. I would totally ride any rollercoaster, even if it was a million miles an hour. My first roller coaster had three loops and blasted off before it went up hill, the a huge dip. ^.^ imagine that as my very first one :3 I felt accomplished.

I think the bravest thing I ever did was tell off one of my teachers in front of a class. I was mad... kinda funny though. Also going against all my dads orders, cause I think his rules are dumb.

heh. I have odd ways of brave-ness. I know. But heck, if they're good for me, thats all I need =]
