As human beings, we cannot help but be
subject to our preferences. However, we do have control over the manner
in which these manifest themselves in our lives. Every value we hold dear
is an expression of either support or opposition, and it is our perspective
that determines whether we are for
something or against it.
For example, we can direct our energy and intentions into activities that
promote peace rather than use our resources to speak out in opposition to
war. On the surface, these appear to be two interchangeable methods of
expressing one virtue. Yet being for
something is a vastly more potent means of inspiring change
because it carries with it the power of constructive intent.
When you support a cause, whether your
support is active or passive, you contribute to the optimism that fuels
all affirmative change. Optimistic thoughts energize people, giving them
hope and inspiring them to work diligently on behalf of what they believe
in. Being for
something creates a positive shift in the universe, which means that
neither you nor those who share your vision will have any trouble
believing that transformation on a grand scale is indeed possible. To be against something is
typically easy, as you need only to speak out in opposition to it.
Standing up for
something is often more challenging because you may be introducing an
idea to people that may scare them on a soul level.
Throughout your life, you have likely
been told that the actions of one person will seldom have a measurable
impact on the world. Yet your willingness to stand up for what you
believe in instead of decrying what you oppose can turn the tides of
fate. The thoughts you project when you choose to adopt a positive
perspective will provide you with a means to actively promote your values
and eventually, foster lasting change.
