CHARACTER STRENGTH: BRAVERY
You act with mental, moral, or physical strength even when you know things are difficult or scary.
Bravery refers to voluntary action in the face of a dangerous circumstance. This strength involves judgement; the brave person must have an understanding of the risks and consequences involved in acting. Bravery isn't just fearlessness, but also overcoming fear. Individuals with this strength might be described as courageous, heroic, daring, or noble.
