Going against the grain takes humility, guts, and the chance to lose.
Courage, like most things, is a muscle that you have to exercise in life. If you don't practice courage, it will atrophy and die.
How often do you practice courage? Moral and or physical? Do you do new things that you are going to look foolish at? Do you accept challenges when others ask you to do something that should be possible? Do you do things that are hard that others say are hard, shouldn't be done, or is impossible? Do you do different hard things on purpose because they are hard and scary?
Take a challenge. Do something hard. Say something when you know something should be said. Practice your courage. If what people are saying in the firearms/2nd Amendment culture is true, we are going to need courage both moral and physical soon. Now would be a good time to practice.
Stay Safe,
