What do you stand for?

Recently, I found myself having to stand up for what is right and fight against what is wrong. I prefer to tell the truth, always, because it means I have less to remember, especially after having a baby and suffering from baby brain. I also tell the truth because it is the right thing to do. I sleep more soundly at night because I don't have anything weighing on my conscience to obsess about.

So, while I was making the decision of whether to stand up for myself and my friends, I decided that if I did not make the wrongdoing known, how could I tell my son or anyone else to stick up for themselves? How could I stand behind my values and the values I teach to my son? I decided that I couldn't and that I had to speak up.

Now, I ask you, what do you stand for? Would you do the right thing even if it meant people talking about you behind your back or chastising you? Would you stick up for yourself even if it meant the loss of what you have? Would you fight for what is right instead of just allowing the wrong to win?

I am not perfect, by any means, but what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong, and that's how I have lived my life and how I plan to live it in the future. I also choose to surround myself with people who feel the same way because liars, cheaters and thieves have no place in my happy life.

So, what do you stand for? Just a thought.
