Stand up for What You Believe In

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "In the end
We will remember not the words of our enemies
But the silence of our friends"

Going much deeper than that
Think about the silence within you
When you get to the end of your life
Don't get there looking back with regret
Knowing you should have stood for
Something greater than the life you lived

Looking back in regret knowing your heart
Was bigger than the little life you lived!
Knowing you cared deeply for a cause greater than you
But you let fear stand in the way of your voice being heard
Fear of judgement, fear of others opinions

Whatever you believe in, live that
Don't be scared of the opinions of others
If they don't stand tall with you
They aren't right for you
You have good in your heart
And you need to stand for that
I don't know what it is for you
But you do

You have things you want to fight for
You have causes you need to fight for
You have causes and people needing you
To stand up for them

Stand strong in your convictions
Stand tall for what is right
Not just right for you, right for all
Right for humanity
Right for the peace on this planet

Stand up to life
Stand up to your challenges
Stand up to the demons
Stand for what you believe in
Stand up

Fight for your dreams
Without compromising the good in you
You can still reach the top
Without stomping on anyone to get there
You can have it all while giving
All of you to the world

Zig Ziglar once said
"With integrity, you have nothing to fear
Since you have nothing to hide
With integrity, you will do the right thing
So you will have no guilt"

It's about living with integrity
Living with pride in your soul

There's no faster way to inner peace
Than knowing you do what is right
Every step of every day
Living with integrity
Leading with your heart and soul
And living with love inside you

How do you know what you're standing for is the right thing?
As Oprah Winfrey said
"You always know what's the right thing
When in the end there is peace"

Lou Holtz had three rules I think you should follow, he said
"I follow three rules, do the right thing
Do the best you can
And always show people you care"

The time is always right
To do the right thing
To stand tall for the right thing
To speak for the right thing
To give your heart and soul to the right thing

Stand up to life
Stand up to your challenges
Stand for what you believe in
Stand up
Stand for something
Live for something
