Standing Up For What You Believe In

You say that you stand up for what you believe in, then why are you so quiet when others challenge your beliefs. It is not that they are questioning what you believe in, only speaking of what they know to be true. You do not reveal what you are thinking, so they wouldn't know who you are. You get upset at what others say and grieve because you feel that others don't understand you. But they only see what you present to them. If you are truly angered that others do not know you, then stand up and tell them who you are. Let others know the real you, what you believe in and value. By sharing who you are, others can then appreciate the true you. You deserve to be known to all, who you love and care about you.

(I think I share only a quarter of who I am. It's not surprising that others don't really know who I am inside. Being genuine is being vulnerable. Standing up for what you believe in, means being transparent to everyone. What a scary place to be.)
