“Dare to stand alone.”

-Thomas S. Monson

We need to know how to stand our ground and do what we want not what others tell us. If you stand alone it doesn’t mean you are weak because you have no one with you. It means that you are strong even to believe in yourself and you don’t need anyone by your side. We so easily decide to do all these dares our friends tell us, but when it comes to standing up for what’s right we don’t do it. We need to be confident in what we believe in no matter what the crowd says. We aren’t our friends we are ourselves, so why do we do everything they do?! For example, I believe in what I believe and when someone bothers me about it I stand up for myself. I know it isn’t easy because most of us prefer to stand in the shadows and let others do the speaking for us. If we want to make this our world then we have to know how to stand up for ourselves. If you want the world to be a certain way then let your voice be heard. You can’t expect someone else to do what you want to do in this world. Don’t be afraid to be yourself. I know the society we live in makes us feel like other idea besides their own is wrong, but it isn’t. Just because we believe in different things it doesn’t make us wrong. It hard to stand alone, but the right things are always the hardest to do.
