"Sometimes you have to stand up and fight for what you believe in. And sometime it takes even more courage to stay put. To hold your ground and refuse to be bullied.... It doesn't change the bully. But it can change you." ~ Touched By An Angel calendar
As I was growing up, whenever we wanted something because everyone else had it, I can remember my Mom saying, "so, if everyone jumped off a cliff, would you too?" What does that even mean????
As time went on, I learned to stand up for what I believed in - not always a popular decision, however, I wouldn't back down when I felt strongly about something. It takes a lot of courage, and yes, it got me in trouble at times, yet I am so very grateful to my Mom for teaching me that I need to be able to feel good about my choices in life and to take responsibility for the outcome - good or bad.
And, I had to work up the courage to admit when I was wrong . . .
'Til the next time . . .
