Take a stand

Taking a stand is not for the faint-hearted. To take a stand is to choose your side and to stand by it, fighting for what you believe. If you live your life without any values or conviction, your life is just going with the flow and will never have an impact. This conviction is what the apostle Paul was talking about when he said, "For I know whom I have believed and I am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." A life without conviction loses the joy and fire of living. Standing for something takes courage and conviction. Every day, we live for something. Though we don’t define what we believe, what we wake up for every morning is the expression of what we really believe in life. Unspoken yet powerful, when you take a stand for something, you are setting your life for a distinguished existence, marked by history, known by your peers. If you do not stand up for what you believe, your life is reduced to a very common existence, a mediocre life of following after the trends and just going with what the majority thinks. If you want to be different, you must stand up for what you believe. Are you willing to take on the challenge to stand for something you believe in?
