Armor of the Brave

By: Gabriela Yareliz

This morning, I was reflecting on the following quote- which I think is from Peaky Blinders. Inspiring Irish gangsters. Leaving it here for your own reflection:

“It takes grace to remain kind in cruel situations. Kindness isn’t weak. It’s the quiet rule of strength. When the world shows its teeth, snarling and ready to bite, it’s easy to grow claws in return. Grace stands battered and bruised and still chooses to extend an open hand. That’s the real fight. To stay soft, to stay human, when life tries to harden you into something less. Grace is the armor of the brave. Worn not for glory, but for the soul.” Alfie

Stay human.
