Am I Really Living Gallantly?

Gallant is defined as "brave and high-spirited; courageous; honorable; dignified". Its origin stems from the 14th century and at that time was generally used to describe the young warriors of the time. (Think Braveheart)

But I would contend that the word has applications and meanings for this day and age. As I get older I start to think back on my life and wonder, have I lived my life in a way that it was meant to be lived? Have I made the most of the opportunities that I have been given? Am I brave? Courageous? I want to live a gallant life! A life full of doing things that scare me and challenge me. A life that is lived with honor and dignity and where every dream is a possibility. And not only dreams but big dreams .. really, really big dreams.

I want to live gallantly!
