There will be moments in each of our lives when we have to make the choice to go with the crowd or to stand for what we really believe in. Now, it is easy to cave and give in - I know. It takes a lot to run the risk of looking like the "square", the "nerd", the "uncool" person. I would still rather look "uncool" than to look like a fool. You know what I mean.
Going with the flow is the obviously easy path; and, there is one great advantage - you get there faster. Where you're getting to should be of more concern than how fast you are arriving - the destination is much more important than the speed of travel.
Today's word is a quote from Hans F. Hansen, which says, "It takes nothing to join the crowd. It takes everything to stand alone."
It gets easier to stand alone the older you get, though there are still those times that others try to press you into something you shouldn't allow. However, we are called to stand up for what is right regardless of the numbers against you. As Mr. Hansen said, "It takes NOTHING to join the crowd." Be strong, don't give in.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
