Stand Up.

I've learned within the past couple of weeks that if you believe in something, don't be scared to say so. When you have something to say, say it.

And when you do this, sometimes...

people won't agree with you,
people will be scared to agree with you,
you'll offend someone,
you'll hurt someone,
someone will judge you,
you'll be wrong,
you'll stir up problems,
you'll stand alone...

But sometimes...

people will agree with you,
people will cheer for you,
you'll encourage someone,
you'll strengthen someone,
someone will change,
you'll be right,
you'll address the issue,
you'll find that others will stand up and fight with you.

Really, what's the greater risk? To quiet yourselves, or dare to speak...

Silence is passivity.

Your voice can't please everyone. But maybe that's what this world needs.

Your voice, your beliefs, and your passions can make a difference.

Stand up.
