What Do You Stand For?

To begin, ask yourself, “What do I really stand for?” It is important to know what you stand for. For as long as we are here on earth, we must stand for something. But why is it difficult for people to stand for something? Why are so many people standing for everything? Remember, if you stand for everything, you are standing for nothing. Pick something that is important to you and fight for it. If treating people fairly and equally is important to you, stand for it. If helping people is important to you, stand for it.

It doesn’t matter what you stand for, but stand for something. Don’t let fear stop you from standing for something. People don’t stand for something because they want to fit in, they want people to like them. Don’t worry about other people. You are powerful enough to live your life on your own terms. Your life is not about them, but about you. So live your life for you, not for them. If you live your life based on other people’s opinions, you will never grow.

To live your life, you must NOT be afraid to be your real self. Don’t try to fit in, try to fit out. Do your own thing. Follow your own heart. Listen to yourself. Don’t let people change your destiny. Don’t be afraid to pursue your destiny. Don’t be afraid to be diferent. And to bring about change in your life, to bring about change in the world, in your communitiy, in yourself, you must not be afraid to do things differently.
