Doing what is right when everyone else isn't.

Speaking to someone you don't know.
~
Saying "no" when people are trying to get you to do something you know you shouldn't.
~
Telling the truth and accepting the consequences.
~
Standing up for someone you believe in even though it might mean rejection or ridicule or even physical harm.
~
Defending someone who is considered unpopular or unacceptable.
~
Facing a limitation and giving it you very best regardless of pain or discomforts.
~
Confronting a fear without running away.
~
Giving sacrificially to protect or promote either someone you love, someone who has been wronged, or someone who is in need.

Being the only one.

Taking a risk.

Sharing your heart honestly (including your feelings and fears and failures).
~
Living your faith with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength regardless of the cost.
