There is a popular saying "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything". Some times we ask someone where do you stand on that issue, and he is like "they have said it all, it is okay like that". Whereas in his mind he thinks so and so, obviously different from what the final conclusion was, leaving him in a situation of inconsistency. What actually stopped him from expressing his mind as well? If you really stand for what you think you stand for you shouldn't be afraid to say it, and you should be able to do the following:
- SPEAK FOR WHAT YOU STAND FOR: Never should you keep quiet about what you stand for because you lack courage to speak out about it. Many people tend to wait cautiously to see if it is safe before they say their views on issues, why should this be so? If you are standing for what is right and what will be beneficial to everyone around then you shouldn't think twice before you speak for it, ofcourse, there will be plenty of opponents but if you but if you know what you are saying and you enlighten them on the benefits some of them might come in terms with your idea.
- STRIVE FOR WHAT YOU STAND FOR: Even after speaking out for what you stand for, you shouldn't stop there, you should also earnestly and energetically strive for its acceptance and accomplishment. Something that is right can never be established without conflict, because everyone can not agree unanimously to an idea. But if you believe in what you stand for you will fight for it.
- SUFFER FOR WHAT YOU STAND FOR: Fear of causing offence, being misunderstood or spoken against will not deter you when deep down in your heart you stand for something right and worthwhile. If you are not willing to suffer personal ease, time, friendship, reputation, money and even your job at worst for what you stand for then you are only fooling yourself by thinking you stand for it.
Stand for something today and let people know you for what you actually stand for but make it a positive standing oooo. Happy Sunday and have a wonderful week ahead. Don't forget that Olamide loves you.
