It's taken me a while to go through this phrase, I still don't quite understand it, but that's alright, right? We don't always understand what we read or hear. That makes us thinkers, we think to understand, we weigh the facts and go through the steps to understand what is being said.
Now, we are brave, occasionally. We are brave enough to stand in a group of people and say "Hello my name is Elizabeth and I am taking this class because..." or able to order something at the drive through or stand in front of an audience and a speech. The president is brave, the teacher is brave and the student is brave, for running for the presidency, for teaching a group of smart individuals and the student is brave for answering the question. We are all brave and have done a brave act in our lives.
Now "You're only brave 'till you're scared...", consider what you have to be in order to be brave. You can't be scared. If you're scared, you have 0% in your brave meter. You can't be brave if your scared level out weighs your brave level. You just become a scared-y cat. Sorry, but its true. Ever watch the Lion King? Mufasa tells his son, Simba, that he is scared, but he is brave too. Being scared is part of being brave. You don't know what you're running into sometimes, but you run into anyways because you also have that rush of adrenaline that out weighs your scared level. Does this make sense at all?
The second statement "You're only unique until compared" is a little bit different. I know I'm comparing my favorite subject, Disney princesses, but these girls are a perfect example. Each princess is different. Ariel wants to live on land and be with the humans, Cinderella wants to get out from her step mothers thumb, Jasmine wants to have a better life outside the palace walls, Belle watns to live her life in peace with her father and her books, Aurora wants to marry a common stranger and break the palace rules, and Snow White wanted to live out her life at the castle being mooned by Prince Charming. When it all comes down to it, all the girls want something different, something unique in their quest to find a happy ending. Each girl may have a different hair color, back ground, and attitude, I mean really, compare Snow White and Jasmine. Snow White goes along with everything, is scared out of her mind and the first thing she does is clean. Jasmine on the other hand, when she gets the chance in the market stands up and shows whose boss! I could keep going, but a similarity between all these girls is that in the end, they become princesses. Princess Belle after marrying Prince Adam, Princess Ariel was the youngest of King Triton's seven girls and marries Prince Eric. Princess Cinderella after she marries the Prince. Princess Jasmine as she is the only daughter of the Sultan. Princess Ariel/Brier Rose as she is the only daughter of the King and Queen and supposedly marries Prince Phillip and Princess Snow White, the only daughter of an unnamed King and Queen, and marries Prince Charming as well.
So, how unique are you? Are you unique enough to be copied? It is a form of flattery you know.
And how brave are you? Do you let your scared level out weigh your brave-ness?
Think about it.
