COMMANDMENT 20 — I Stand Up For What I Value
Jul 20th, 2010 by boldbeauty
Nothing can chip away at your self esteem more than standing by silently and allowing something to happen that you feel uncomfortable with, or don’t agree with or approve of. A Boldly Beautiful woman does not ever have to let that happen. Because she has the confidence she needs to stand up for what she values. She has the confidence to step in and make her opinion or feelings known when the situation calls for it.
You don’t have to shout, or stamp your feet, or cause a scene to stand up for your values. In fact, nothing is more powerful, more effective than simply stating, calmly but firmly, what you feel. There is no need for any kind of drama. Because when you know you are being true to yourself, when you’re speaking from your heart and from your soul, all the power you need is already there. The enormous power that comes from simply being honest and right and true.
Some women are uncomfortable standing up and speaking out. Just remember that part of what makes you beautiful is your strength – your ability to stand up for yourself or others or whatever you believe is right. If it feels totally foreign and weird, you can start small at first, in areas where you know there will be no controversy. But the goal should always be to strengthen your inner core. Because the stronger you are, the more beautiful you become. And the more beautiful your life will be.
