What Makes You Brave? | NBC’s #TheBrave Monday 09 October, 2017
When was the last time you did anything brave? The definition of brave is ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage. In these modern times with all that is going on in the world right now, we all are finding ways to be bravier than ever before.
To expect the unexpected and try not to panic and come up with solution. Being brave comes in so many forms; one can be brave while speaking up for yourself and others, one can be brave within their careers, and one can even be brave in the most turmoil situations. Bravery comes from the gut, but it is not one of the easiest human qualities to have. It takes real courage and determination to be a brave person and I want to share some traits on what can make someone a braver person.
Facing Fears
When you have a fear or when there is a time where its either fight or flight. Many people of course run from their fears, but some braves ones will fight against it. If you are brave enough to go head on with your fears, you will instant be brave. It takes true guts to push yourself with you are really heighten with fear or phobia.
Optimism
Being positive when things around you aren’t as optimistic is bravery. It can be easy to feed into negativity when possible things around you seem bleek. The news, conditions, certain people and situations that are some what depressing seem like it should be contagious to be negative. Its brave to be optimistic in these times because you can be the one to make others feel at ease.
Going Against The Grain
Doing what others won’t do is bravery. It can be unconventional, dangerous or just uncomfortable, but if you the type of person who will sign up when others would back out it takes a certain kind of bravery for that. You step out the box, you do not take the average path like most, and you can also do this while facing your fears with optimism will give you a new level of respect to people. When many go against the grain, some are label “crazy” or “risk taker” but someone has to step out and do the impossible at time.
I was inspired by showcasing what can make one a bravier person by the new NBC show called The Brave.
The Brave On NBC
This fresh, heart-pounding journey into the complex world of America’s elite undercover military heroes follows D.I.A. Deputy Director Patricia Campbell (Anne Heche) and her team of analysts as they wield the world’s most advanced surveillance technology from headquarters in D.C. All the while, Adam Dalton and his heroic Special Ops squad of highly trained undercover specialists use their unbreakable bond and commitment to freedom to save lives of innocent people and execute missions in some of the most dangerous places in the world.
TRAILER
Tune in to “The Brave” Mondays at 10:00/9:00c on NBC
The show looks awesome. I wish they had that here in Spain :-). I have to settle for reruns of Castle, Big Bang and Mentalist, but they’re new to me :-). I will be on the lookout for this one! Thanks
This shows looks pretty good. I have been seeing the previews and I am liking it so far
I’m not sure why I haven’t heard of this show yet. It looks and sounds like one my husband and I would enjoy.
As much as I loved your introduction to facing fears & being brave, I think I’m going to love the shown as well!
I have to admit I’ve not heard of this show before, but I would definitely love to give it a try it sounds like something I would enjoy.
Looks like a great show. Will catch it if it comes on Amazon Prime. For me , bravery is also standing up for someone when they are wronged.
Bravery. Now that’s a word worth pondering. I think we are all inherently brave, but we don’t really realize it until we have to be strong through a situation. I’m a person that tip-toes into everything and sometimes, it’s hard to find the courage to do it, so I just tell myself to do it scared. Courage is a badge to be worn with honor…we just have to dig for it. Great post!
Looks like a great show! Not sure I have done anything brave lately! Or maybe I don’t give it a proper definition so I don’t know wha bravery is in real life.
The shows looks intriguing, I’ll watch it for sure. I really liked your tips on what makes someone brave.
I am currently facing some of my fears to leave a job and move to a new career. I’ll have to check this show out and see if it relates to the change I am making in my life.
The Brave is SUCH a good show! I wasn’t sure if I’d like it when I first started watching, but it only took about 10 minutes for me to be hooked.
I have never seen this show before but it does sound interesting. I think there are a lot of things that make people brave, and it isn’t necessarily limited to extreme situations where only one will do something necessary.
Looks like a great serie to follow! As you mention above, bravery can come in many forms.
I see or hear about brave people everyday.
Going up to work even though he has high fever, a lady save a life of a man with heart attack on a plane, a mum in India who workd hard to give her daughter a pair of new shoes….we live in a world full of braver!
i watched a couple episodes of the brave and really like it so far. i’m interested to catch up on more episodes!
this looks so right up my street! I love the other side of the pond. you guys seem to come up with loads of shows! I don’t think theres ever a moment when I don’t have something to watch. I’ve added this to my list.
Seems like an interesting show! I’ll have to give it a look! As for bravery, everyone can be brave. And even if you are really scared, if you still do it, that’s the best kind of bravery.
I’ve really been enjoying this show. I’m a military family so I tend to always enjoy programs like this.
I have watched this and enjoyed it. Debated with a friend the other day – which is better the new show THE BRAVE or SEAL TEAM?
I’ve never seen this show before and I would love to! It sounds like there’s plenty to learn from it aside from the fact that it’s entertaining to watch.
I am always drawn to stories of bravery probably because I don’t think I am very brave ha ha. I find it inspiring how people can put their lives on the line for others and lead such courageous lives. I will have to check out this show! It sounds like it is addictive.
What a great list of what makes you brave. I love all that you have listed here and it truly is right on 🙂
I haven’t heard of The Brave before, but it looks like a great show. I will be sure to add it to my viewing lineup to watch with hubby.
I have heard amazing things about this show. My hubby loves shows like this.
I seriously can’t wait for this show. It looks very enticing.
This sounds like a really interesting show! I will definitely add this to my list!
Break the stereotype. Be grateful. Know your strengths and weakness. These are some of the ways to embrace bravery.
I have not really watched any of the new fall shows but this one looks I should get into it soon. I think being brave is doing a thing that is out of your comfort zone.
i can’t wait to watch this show. it really looks awesome. i love action shows like this.
I hadn’t heard of this show. I’ll have to check it out.
Looks like a new interesting show! I’m pretty optimistic myself. I hope to see this series soon.
Makes me wonder why I have not heard about this show until now? Maybe I was just too deep into my work. I think this is a great show to look forward to. This is the kind of show me and my husband would love. Thanks for the heads up.
I’ve never heard of this show before. It sounds really amazing especially after reading these life lessons.
I shall have to add the brave to my watch list. I agree that going against the grain and fitting your fears does equate to bravery.
It’s the first time I hear about this show. I have to give it a try. It sounds really interesting
Well this seems like an interesting show… I have not heard of it before… But i would definitely try watching it 😀

Bravier should totally be a word, I think, lol! I’ve never heard of this show but it sounds interesting!
This looks like a great show! Will definitely watch it. And the cast is simply amazing!
Its not easy being brave,but it is needed to get out of our comfort zone. To move forward and achieve our goals we need yo be brave, not easy but it can be done. I would also love to watch this movie, I am sure it will be an interesting one.
You always have me adding to my must watch list. I am getting out of my own way and that is making me feel more brave each day.
This sounds like my kind of entertainment. Brave is recurring theme in my life, I’ve been apologetically myself for many years.
I know that I have heard about this show before. It did sound interesting but I haven’t watched it yet. I am definitely going to have to go and watch this soon.
I love an interesting series that will keep me hooked from start to finish. I will have to check Brave out. It better exceed my expectations.
Sounds like a great show! I think its important to face your fears! Fear actually paralyzes people. Don’t let fear stop you, you never know what obstacles you can over come.
I’d heard whispers about this here and there, but never really gave it a second thought. Now I’m curious and the tv addict in me wants to watch.
Oh my goodness! I must have been living in space. I’d never heard of this show until now. I need to wait until a few episodes are available and then binge watch the show with my hubby.
I have never heard about this show but I am definitely gonna watch it and make my friends watch too. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never heard of this show but it definitely looks good and I’d love watch it sometimes. I love and ponder on the question “What makes you brave?” That’s a really fascinating and telling question to ask.
This show looks pretty good. I bet it will do really well!
pretty cool concept for a blog post. i like the thought of listing what makes someone brave. The show looks good. I was working from home the other day and saw some commercials for it.
Looks like a great movie to follow. I am always looking for something to watch on tv. Thanks for sharing.
One of those Actors is so cute! I recognize him from “Under the Dome.” I will have to look for this show on Demand. Thanks for sharing!
I have not heard of The Brave before, but it sounds good enough to check out. Anything to do with special operations and the government is my type of show. And Anne Hesche is a good actress.
