Stand Alone

“Dare to stand alone”

Thomas S Monson

This quote means that even if you have to stand alone because you are right then you should do it. Always choose what is right even if you are alone, but it is better that way because you get to be an example to others of what it is like to know what is right even when you are lonely. Sometimes it may be hard to do things are your own because you don’t want to stand out but it will show what kind of person you are. For example, When you are at a party and see your friends doing drugs but you don’t want to do it, dare to stand alone. Even if they try to force you stand up for yourself and say no to it because you know it is not the right thing to do. They may make fun of you but that is wrong, they should be able to respect the decisions you make for yourself because you know what is right. If you were to decide to not stand up and stay and do what is wrong, there would have been consequences. You could have gone to prison for doing something illegal or you could have ruined your future is after you had fallen into the wrong footsteps. It is always better to stand alone if you have to, but as long as you are standing up to do what is right, then it will benefit you in life. Daring to stand alone will show how you know to stand up for what you know is right.
