Sat down with a bunch of the guys last night and watched "Act of Valor". Awesome movie! Today it has me thinking about those people who can show courage, bravery and conviction in not the battles overseas, but in the little decisions that can so often shape our lives.
Without giving it away, the movie shows how one member of an elite unit of Navy Seals makes a courageous decision that will affect not only his life, but the members of the unit. Today I saw someone show some of that same bravery. I had a dear friend remind me that sometimes we have to say no, turn around, punt, take a time out, and all the above when faced with the decision to be true to one's self. It's easy to get caught up in moments and emotions and I've been one of the worst at this, but this person was able to stop. Take that second to realize that sometimes we need to actually look carefully before we leap off of the side of the canyon and see if the bungee cord is ACTUALLY attached to the harness.
