Brave Character Trait

The brave character trait allows one to have or show mental or moral strength or perseverance when facing danger, fear, difficulty or discomfort. One may also refer to the display of this character trait as having or showing courage.

One with a dominant brave character trait will likely face off against any challenge if they believe it's the right thing to do. This person will fight with everything in their power if they believe it is worth the effort, regardless of the odds or outcome. Even if they're terrified, and the fight may result in the loss of their life.

At some point each of us has, is, or will face an extremely difficult challenge. Moments where your life is in danger, or something traumatic happens that turns your world upside down. And, you will be unable to avoid this challenge. This is when one calls upon their brave character trait to face it and fight through it.

Simply stated, being brave allows you to feel fear and still face challenges. It's the first step in getting through something. One's brave character trait may take shape in many different forms such as: taking responsibility for a mistake made, confessing one's true feelings toward someone, convincing oneself to try something new, or sharing with someone who is trusted that they are struggling and need help. It could also be in the form of accepting something that is out of their own control.
