You were born with a Backbone, so USE it!

One thing that drives me crazy are people without backbones. I cannot stand to see someone act as a coward. There is a fairly new person at work, they are very nice and all and very much the type of person I wouldn't mind being friends with or hanging out with outside of work, but this person does not stand up for themselves, doesn't speak up when she knows or thinks something is wrong, and goes along with whatever anyone tells her....that's not cool. Stand up for yourself, have some courage, some dignity. Don't follow behind someone else, especially when you know its wrong or that person does not have your best interests in mind. Don't be afraid to stand up, or speak up, its okay to have your own opinion, your own beliefs, your own style. God created you to be YOU....not her, not him, not them...but uniquely YOU! Don't ever get to the point where you are not living as yourself, or are afraid to be who you are! Take heart, have courage, be brave...people respect those with courage, no one is talking about being aggressive, that's not always the best route, but being assertive, proactive, not just letting things happen, letting people use you or walk over you, but being a person who causes change, who makes things happen, who speaks up when its appropriate....who knows when to be firm and stand their ground and who is yet humble enough to know when to back down. God gave us backbones for a reason, I suppose that reason is to stand up straight, to provide us with needed support, and to align us correctly....Just a thought
