POSITIVITY PROJECT

P2

The Positivity Project character strength for the Week of November 4th is "Bravery" which refers to voluntary action in the face of a difficult circumstance. This strength involves judgment and the brave person must have an understanding of the risks and consequences involved in acting.  This means that bravery isn’t simply fearlessness, but instead the overcoming of fear.  #otherpeoplematter
