repeating:

I need to keep reminding this to myself.

Have you had a "brave" moment recently? Perhaps it's something really simple, or perhaps not (after all, what's easy for some may be scary for others). How did you push though the fear? Do share. I'd like some inspiration.

i think that i am quite brave right now, because I am leaving my country to live somewhere completely else, with different culture, language, and i am doing it all alone. Sometimes, when i am wondering about it, i become very sceared,but later i just push all my fears away by saying that this is what i really want and need. So that is my story! :)

love, nath

Zmaga said...

We all need that reminder. Here's some inspiration, though I'm pretty sure you\ve heard about it: http://ravenn.blogspot.com/2007/10/be-brave-project.html

i love that print! LOVE LOVE LOVE.
: ) recently i applied to work on our school newspaper as a designer but i don't use Macs so i was a little weary of not knowing how to use their design program... BUT! i was brave & applied & got the job! & yesterday they told me that i was doing really really well, and that i was extra fast! woohoo!!

we should be brave more often!!

I've recently quit my job because I didn't like what I was doing anymore..Takes me lot of courage to do that with all the people around me telling me it was crazy to quit a job nowadays ! Anyway the photos you choose are gorgeous, the second one is my fav :p

Mo said...

just like Nath..im moving to another country..and it terrifies me..eventhough it's what i've been wanting for so long...it's somehow scary to actually accomplish your dreams...cause you're scared it won't be as good as they are in your head...but like it says in Amélie from Montmartre..."it's better to live your dream than dreaming your life " ;-)

Irene said...

love the photos <3

Flashes of Style said...

Aww these photos are gorgeous. Very inspiring. :)

Claradevi said...

Well, I've learnt how to be brave enough to tell some people about their irritating habits lately. I didnt really have any guts before because of the so-called politeness standard in our country (or our lovely javanese tradition) wouldn't ever allowed me to do so (or maybe they would made me feel cruel instead of ban me off). And it feels good to be brave for something we believe in! <3

Wanderlusting said...

I'm pretty brave in some respects (ie will go live in another country by myself, leave friends, boyfriends, family behind) but also very scared in other respects (afraid of how fat I look constantly). Maybe I'll try being more brave with the latter :)

Rachel C. said...

this is inspiring!

i think everyday we face at least something that requires courage.

Ruxandra said...

i'm not the brave type of person.i try to do it now and then, but i get scared easily.and anything new scares me.i think that reminder would be a little help.maybe...

Gabbi said...

Amazing photos Anna, what a great way to illustrate your point! :) When I need to be brave I think of someone who loves and believes in me and try to do them proud. Family or friend. Just picture their faces and stand tall and do it!

Diana said...

I love this post.

I haven't been feeling brave much lately. The bravest thing I have *ever* done in my life was say no. It's frightening but it's amazing what happens when you take care of yourself first. Life is easy.

June Paski said...

i love all those photos, it's give some energy!

DT said...

this is a bit emotional thing but it was when i got really strong n brave .. i had friends at my college, who were actually not friends... backbiters n stuff... so i finally decided to leave them n b alone instead of being ditched every moment

Amelia said...

There was a creepy guy following me while I was taking pictures and I was starting to get really scared. But then I pulled myself together and told him to please go away. And he did! That's my bravery inspiration for today, though I'm still a bit shaken.

Rebecca, The Clothes Horse said...

The "be brave" is lovely...I struggle with that too in certain areas. I hate the unknowns of life.
P.S. Just received your lovely package! It's wonderful!!! Already wore the necklace in my post tomorrow but I'll definitely write about the box more fully later. :)

Putri Erdisa said...

I have a bestfriend, and he encourage me a lot whenever i feel scared and hesitant.
So, yeah, that's the way i got my brave! hehe, i think i'm not really helping :P

myrrh goldframe said...

well.. i know that being brave ain't as easy as it seems.. but we should give a chance for ourself to let free the feeling of terrifed. It would bothered you more if you didn't let em go. Please dear, trust your self.. i know you could gather your own power to be brave..to Anything.

fantastic post <3

miriam said...

beautiful pictures, anna!

hmm, my bravest moment... i think letting yourself fall in love, even though you're scared is brave.

yiqin; said...

The second photo is just, stunning!

Little Bo Peeep said...

Aww gorgeous pictures, so full of free spirit!

Hmmm i don't know if i've done anything brave recently but i do accept challenges and anything risky.
But i'm leaving off to Uni soon and i'll be living without my parents, so i guess that's pretty "brave", no? haha

michellehendra said...

Filipa said...

Ohhhh I like I like!! :) I like your blog!

Dream Sequins said...

That just gave me a tiny jolt of encouragement on a slow Tuesday afternoon. Thanks.

Ariella said...

Gah, your layouts just get prettier and prettier! This one is fantastic.

I wish I could tell you something inspirationally brave I've done lately, but unfortunately I've been far too lazy these last few months to do anything :(

steffie.xo said...

Your blog is just lovely! I loved this post. Such beautiful inspirational pictures!

Hopefully this week will be filled with bravery. I, for one, sure need to toughen up and face my fears.

Emily said...

I think this a great reminder for everyone now and again. I can't immediately recollect any recent moments in bravery as I often struggle with trying to encourage myself through certain fears. Let us band together, Anna! I do hope that since you've posted this you've found the encouragement and inspiration you're looking for.

Emily said...

P.S. Your new layout is precious! You're so creative :)

Iva said...

This is so beautiful. So very true as well. I think we should all try and be a bit more brave a bit more often. We need to believe in ourselves.....just as the ones who love us most believe in us :) Thank you for this, its a perfect reminder!

Sam said...

Oh yes! You said it : be Brave! That's about the top and bottom of it really! I can't think of a particularly brave moment recently - but I think my general strategy when needed is justto hold my breath and do it!! Nothing ventured nothing gained!!

Polished Sense said...

We all need to remind ourselves to be brave! Did you make that? It's fabulous!

♡,
Jessica

♥ Donna Vitan said...

Thank you for the reminder! I'll keep that at the forefront of my mind in the coming days.

Kelley Anne said...

Wonderful post. I especially love that photo of the woman jumping into the setting sunlight. Yes, I've had to be brave lately. My father-in-law, who was only 58, just passed away and I've never dealt with the death of someone close to me before and I felt that I needed to be strong and brave for my husband. When my husband gave his eulogy at the memorial service, he broke down and couldn't go on, so I walked up to the pulpit and took over reading for him and then said something for myself in front of about 250 people, most of whom I didn't know. Sorry to ramble, but I haven't told anyone about since we got home two weeks ago. I think we all need to remember to be brave sometimes, but sometimes we just marvel at ourselves for just doing things that we would have thought very difficult.

I went to a yearly fair in my little country town yesterday.

I was sad there was no giant pumpkin award, it would have made my day (and a nice photograph)
but what I felt really brave to do was slide down the steep rubber slides in the enormous jumping castle, in 34 degree heat.

We'll just say shorts, hot rubber and friction on giant slides do not equal comfort.
