Something to ask yourself. . . ?

Okay so, this is my Facebook status currently as well, but I can go into detail on here.

Here's my question, and perhaps as a woman (or man, whatever) you should ask yourself the same thing:

If you don't stand for SOMEthing you fall for ANYthing right? . . . Okay, so then what do YOU stand for?

-I thought about this on the way to my friend Beverly's house today (btw my girl is about to graduate from nursing school! Kudos to her :). But as I was driving over there I was contemplating my age and where I want to be in life, I mean I'm only 23, but time waits for no man. Also, I had just finished watching part of the Obama campaign documentary entitled By The People, you should check it out. But the documentary touched me in many ways, one of which was how moving it was to see the dedication of the young people in Iowa to his campaign. I told my brother I SWARE if I were there I would have gotten involved. They STOOD for something, they were backing Obama 110%, they believed in him and what he stood for, so they were with it. It made me think to myself, what do I want to stand for???? So far this is what I've got:

1. Just in respect of what I was watching, I want to STAND for Obama, the man made history, he has great intentions for our country and such a likable and respectable aura about himself, reminds me of my daddy in many ways. I want to know more about what he is doing for our country so that I can back him and really tell my children about him in detail because of my knowledge of his doings for our country.

2. Now, on a more personal note, I want to STAND for my faith in the Lord, I want to be able to flat out tell people about Him and what He and His Son and the Holy Spirit have done for me in my life and for my family. I especially want to be able to talk to guys much more freely about it, but just people in general as well.

3. I want to STAND for being treated the way that I KNOW I should be treated. I have a sweet spirit (not saying I'm ALWAYS sweet), and in short, that doesn't always leave me in position to stand up for myself 100% of the time. Or I should say to bluntly object to all the things that I should. And we'll just leave that at that. But I want to stand more firmly against those things.

4. I want to STAND for my intelligence in all that I do. My knowledge of and talents in PR and Cosmetology, my abitlity to hold management and ownership positions. My ability to be assertive and successful. I can't WAIT for my opportunity to shine.
I want to STAND for being my very best at what I do. MY VERY BEST.

5. I want to STAND for my sorority. I LOVE AKA and what it stands for. I LOVE my founders for what they created and I think it is a beautiful thing to be a part of. I want to embody what a true Alpha Kappa Alpha woman should. I wanted it for a long time, I got it almost 2 years ago now, time to put in more work.

6. I want to STAND for my family and my friends, being who I am to them at all times. I want to be a light in their lives, not a shadow of darkness.

There are other things that I could think of I'm sure, but I think I've gotten personal enough.
So with all of that being said, tell me. . . what do you stand for? Think about it. :)
