be courageous even if it means being unpopular

I seem to be running into a lot of situations lately where I find myself doing the right thing (whether it be legally, morally, ethically, etc.) and still getting crap from those around me. Sometimes in life you just have to take a stand even if it means that there isn’t going to be anyone there next to you.

I remember back in the day when I was in school there was this sign hanging up in the classroom that said, “Doing what’s right doesn’t always mean doing what’s popular.” Or it was something like that. I used to see it every single day. Deciding what is wrong or right isn’t the point here, but I think we all know what this means and it’s so easy to sell out, but I love when I don’t. I challenge myself to keep doing that for as long as I’m alive, the best way I can.

popularity or otherwise. i just always want to walk with my back straight and head up high, even though i walk alone in the land of humans. i know God is with me, all the angels and saints, Jesus…so i know i am safe. still, sometimes, it’s difficult, especially when i want to be liked and accepted.
