Standing Up For Yourself

For many of us, we have difficulty standing up for what we believe in. It's not that we don't believe in many things, but when put to the test we prefer to be silent. Sometimes it's difficult sharing ourselves with others because we don't want to draw attention to ourselves. What if they don't agree with us or want to challenge us. In being silent, we not only do harm to ourselves but we are deceiving others as well. In order for us to continue moving forward on our journey, we need to move outside our comfort zone. If we don't express ourselves, we are not presenting our true selves to others. How will they know who we really are and what will they learn from us if all we do is agree with their perspective? How do we learn to communicate effectively with others if we fear controversy? We are who we are based on what we learn from others. Today, stand up for what you believe in. Let others know in a quiet and respectful way, what you know to be true. You are a unique person and what you have to say is important. It is time to take the next step on your journey towards self discovery.

Experience life by opening yourself to different things...

(I'm not sure what these were but I thought they were cute. I guess art is whatever the artist intends it to be. Life is a little like art. It's whatever we'd like it to be. I guess that's why life can get kind of crazy at times and hard to explain.)
