Do what you think is right, even when others are telling you you're wrong. (Note: I feel like that's a quote I've read somewhere, but can't find it. So if it is a quote, I apologize for the lack of credit. Continue on, now.) That seems like a simple concept, doesn't it? But in a society obsessed with fitting in, is it, really?
I've written before about trusting your gut, but today, I'm going to elaborate more on standing by your gut when your feelings are questioned.
Recently, I have been told my gut is wrong. I have been told I thought I was better than someone else. Why? Because my gut feeling on a certain situation was confirmed and I stood by it instead of just agreeing with everyone else. And you know what? I will not back down on how I feel just because someone else disagrees with me. Wanna know why? Because standing by my gut instinct (and therefore, myself) is more important than “fitting in.” Doing so doesn't mean I don't care about the friends who told me I was wrong; it doesn't mean I'm trying to just fight. It just means I value what I think is right. And that's okay.
Now, this belief can be applied to many situations. Whether it's regarding your political beliefs to your opinion of a person or even just whether or not you should give in to peer pressure, always do what you feel is right inside. If you can't stand beside yourself, who else would? As I said in my other post about guts, your gut is always right. Be sure to listen.
Stay Alive,
