“People have different ideas about what's brave. You did the brave thing, because the brave thing is doing what your Knowing tells you to do. You don't ask others what's brave, you feel and know what's brave. What you know to do might be the opposite of what others are telling you to do. It takes special bravery to honor yourself when the crowd is pressuring you not to. [...] Sometimes being brave requires letting the crowd think you're a coward. Sometimes being brave means letting everyone down but yourself.” — Glennon Doyle
