STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. Some people have a hard time standing up for themselves. Ever since childhood we’ve had our share of problems with some bullies that gave us a hard time before. We all remember that huge schoolmate who picks on the smaller ones. You may also recall the most beautiful girl or the most handsome boy in school who made everyone else feel ugly. Some of us grew up and learned to overcome the fear and the insecurities that we felt because of these bullies of our past. But there are a lot of people who may have carried these negative feelings as they matured. This caused them to have weak personalities and become a push over for those who see that they can easily be swayed. PEOPLE PLEASER Most people who can’t stand up for themselves or can’t even voice out their thoughts are usually afraid of rejection or judgment from their peers. They are so eager to make friends and they want everyone to like them. In the process, they let other people get their way with them no matter what the cost. It is okay to want to make other people happy, especially if they are your friends. But people who say yes all the time end up being abused and used by people who are on the look out for people to take advantage of. The world is full of scammers and swindlers. Be smart enough to at least know who to be nice and giving to. PEACE KEEPER There are two kinds of people in the world, the peacekeepers and the peacemakers. Peacekeepers are the ones who would not say a thing even if they think a friend or someone around them is doing something wrong. They don’t want to offend anyone or get into a fight. Peacemakers on the other hand would speak up when they need to. WHAT IS RIGHT You should try to develop the courage to be a peacemaker instead of a peacekeeper. So what if they get angry or would not want to be your friend anymore? Some people are not worth your time and efforts. If they are not good company and are not doing the right things, it is best that you speak up and if things don’t go well, walk away. SELF WORTH Do not design your lifestyle based on what other people tell you to do. No one can tell you who you truly are and what you deserve. You, above all, know your worth. If the people around you cannot see your good traits, then find someone who will. Do not let anyone make you feel you are not good enough for anything. You may have heard this many times before, “You are unique.” This is very true and you should believe it. Believe in yourself and the things you are capable of. I am not saying you should be arrogant in dealing with people. I am saying that you should be proud of who you are. There may be things you cannot do that others can, but there are thing you can do that they can’t. Never be afraid to stand up for yourself.
