In situations where we need someone to step up, the majority just look on, or Look away. Not cowards really, but people who put their own safety above all else. This is a time to step up. A time for heroes. Bravery can be taught, but heroes aren’t made; they just happen In a moment of conflict or need, a person steps in Often without thinking about the danger and their safety, or survival They act when others can’t or won’t They are different, whether by training or nature They are brave, but their actions aren’t about being brave or being fearless The answer is to accept you are afraid and decide to act anyway To commit; to believe you can act – you need to act Self-confidence and self-efficacy can be taught Many of our past leaders already had the self-confidence and skill To face adversities and overcome their fear and act That skill, those experiences, those lessons seem to be in short supply lately Self-preservation is the rule today. Hold onto your position and power, whatever the cost. Even if they know what is right, what is necessary, their fear rules the day. Fear rules the day, and the nation pays the price When will someone act anyway, over come their fear, and Act anyway Act anyway
