“Dare to stand alone.”

This wonderful statement comes from a previously quoted author, Thomas S. Monson. In today's post the statement is daring us to do something, will you accept the dare? He dares us to stand alone, now this does not mean to be mean to others or to push everyone away so that your can be alone. This statements is saying be brave enough to stand up for what your believe even if everyone is against you. Your beliefs are good and righteous, hopefully, but others may not think the same way. If your are in a crowd of people and they start to do stuff that is inappropriate, bad, maybe even illegal, what would you think. You would think, “ that's not cool”, and you're right it isn’t. Your must tell your friends that that’s not a good idea and if they start telling your stuff like, “stop being lame” you just suck it up and tell them “if being lame keeps me out of trouble I don’t mind” and walk away. If your cannot help those who are headed in the wrong path, then you cannot hang out with them. If your hang out with them all that will do is cloud your judgement. Remember it might be scary but don’t give in. It is better to stand alone and do right then to be part of a group that does wrong.
