It is okay to be selfish about yourself sometimes. If we dont give priority to ourself, no one is going to come and do it for us. Everyone stand by their version and we also need to make our own stand.

If you know your core values, you know what you stand for, you know what you’ll fight for, and you know what you will help foster.

Modern Proverb: “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”

 

People who aren’t in touch with their core values don’t have a strong moral compass. They are easily led or swayed, and don’t stand up for what is right. Some people also prefer the path of least resistance. Both are dangerous.

Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.

-Gandhi

Ask yourself what your reaction is when you are encouraged to do something that doesn’t serve the common welfare. Do you shrug and go along with it? Or do you say that you cannot be a part of it? Where do you see your responsibility ending?

What if that encouragement comes from an authority figure, whether that is your boss, your parent, or a member of the government? Do you do things that you don’t particularly admire because they are part of your job or what the government says is for the best? Do you see where you could be a part of creating positive change, simply by standing up for what you believe in?

Allowing yourself to be used as a tool for that which you do not believe in, or are even ashamed of, is a slippery slope. The more you excuse your behavior, the more of your behavior you are willing to excuse. It only gets easier over time.

Open your eyes.

We are destroying the earth. We believe that we as humans are wise and superior, but we are the ones that have destroyed the one planet in one billion trillion trillion that can support us. This video really puts everything into perspective.

I made this for a class project on the subject of LGBTQ+ bullying, and how it needs to stop, and one of the requirements was to make a small ad campaign to go with it. I made this small poster of many flags from the LGBTQ+ community, along with a hashtag. Would it be too much to ask that you spread this image around along with “#MakeAStand”? 

It means that you shouldn’t be afraid to stand up for what you identify as, whether it be your sexual identity or gender identity, or both. Same for standing up for the aforementioned if you see them getting bullied, or to just help support them in general. Spread the word, stop the bullying.

We act as if that being of a man or that being of a woman is actually an internal reality or something that is simply true about us, a fact about us, but actually it's a phenomenon that is being produced all the time and reproduced all the time, so to say gender is performative is to say that nobody really is a gender from the start.

Never make a major life decision based on fear. It will be inauthentic—often made ‘in order to’ not lose something you don’t even know that you want—like a job or a relationship or someone’s love, or to not be seen in a poor light. ** A choice that is inauthentic will have very little staying power, the dissolution of which will be inevitable. Which will only have the pain draw out for a longer period, wasting everybody’s time because your choice was based on fear and/or confusion. Making the time and effort to gain clarity about the truthfulness of your heart, and choosing from a place of stillness as opposed to chaos and reaction will always be in everybody’s best interest. ** When you make a choice that is authentically real and true for you, everyone in your space will benefit, whether they realize it initially or not. You choosing that which is NOT your truth, will serve no one in the end. Especially you. Love yourself enough to unabashedly choose you. ** You’ve been taught, that doing so is selfish and have been shamed with words like ‘should’ and ‘duty’. Stop taking on that bs. ** The truth is your choices should be made whole-heartedly, from the space of devotion and clarity. If it isn’t an overwhelming ‘Hell yes!’ then it’s not a real yes. In my book, I call that a ‘Fuck no!’ ** If you aren’t somebody’s ‘Hell yes’, and they’re not yours, do yourSelves a favor and gtfo- whether is a relationship, job or friendship. ~laurie frazier P. S. Change/dissolution/upheaval/ & destruction are signs of transformation and an inevitable part of every life. Choose with integrity and whole-heartedness, & from your authentic truth. ** #lauriefrazier #mavenofmoksha #lifecoach #hellyes #fuckno #choose #devotion #passion #warriorlove #choices #loveyousomeyou #decisionsdecisions #followyourheart #claritynotchaos #chooseyou #dontshouldonpeople #makeastand #behappy #dutyisafourletterword #devotionisthenewduty #onelifetobeyou https://www.instagram.com/p/BrlffO_hgAH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19wy06eu8obb6

In last week's Monday Message, I wrote about priorities, and suggested you figure out what the three areas in your life which are most important to you are. Those are (or speak to) your core values. If you know your core values, you know what you stand for, you know what you’ll fight for, and you know what you will help foster.

Modern Proverb: “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”

People who aren't in touch with their core values don't have a strong moral compass. They are easily led or swayed, and don't stand up for what is right. Some people also prefer the path of least resistance. Both are dangerous.

Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.

*NOT MY PHOTO. I’M JUST MAKING A STAND* So this morning this photo of this unknown girl pops up on my feed WITHOUT THE DOTS ON THE BOOBS and showing her face. I chose not to show her face or her name because I don’t want to promote her. IG’s reason of why it showed up on my feed is because I used the hashtag “image” on a post at one time or another. CRAZY! 🤬 I did what I thought was right and I reported it and blocked this person. I mean sheer wet cloth over naked boobs is INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL CONTENT to me but I guess it isn’t to IG. **SWIPE LEFT TO SEE EDITED PHOTO** 😡👎🏽 I’m not against body image, I live in Hawai’i and wearing a bikini is the norm but this kind of thing shouldn’t be public and showing up on other people’s private feeds!! Lesson: Hashtags are hashtags and you never know what it’ll bring to your feed. So be careful on how you use a # and protect your space, know what shows up and BE REALLY GOOD AT BLOCKING cause if you’re not protecting your space, especially if your kids are on your IG watching reels, no ones going to do it for you!! #inappropriatecontent #blockposts #makeastand #dontstaysilent #igiswrong #igiswrong4this #wrongiswrong https://www.instagram.com/p/CTAnHFOhEHa/?utm_medium=tumblr

I want to try to raise awareness for mental health, emotional abuse, and to make emancipation for minors easier to help get them away from whoever is treating them like shit.

IV been going through a huge rough patch, and IV been treated very very horribly as a child up to now, And it's made me realize that the world doesn't give a fuck about you. Or your mental health, or your family issues. Infact there is barely anything to help minors in an abusive family. I want to make a change to that. From now on my posts are going to try to be helpful, and all the while spread the awareness of mental health and abuse. I will take caution to what is posted and make sure it isn't made up bullshit or lies or whatever it may be, so a credible source. Maybe you could join me, my journey, and help too!
