Sometimes you have to be brave

"'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?''That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.” Game of Thrones

My friend Carrie recently sent me this TED talk and I can't stop thinking about the short, incredible life of Sam Berns.

You may have seen the HBO documentary, Life According to Sam, and I'm just late to the party.  However, even if you know Sam's story, it's worth listening to his talk.

Pay attention to the way Sam faces challenges, how he prioritizes relationships, and his willingness to be brave in the middle of a disease which would take his life months later.

Never miss a talk! SUBSCRIBE to the TEDx channel: http://bit.ly/1FAg8hB Just before his passing on January 10, 2014, Sam Berns was a Junior at Foxboro High School in Foxboro, Massachusetts, where he achieved highest honors and was a percussion section leader in the high school marching band.

Above all, remember to be brave today!
