Creating Inner Peace – Being True to Yourself

What are some examples from your life where you stood your ground and others where you wished you had decided differently?

If a person doesn’t do something they know is wrong, just because other people are doing it; then the person doesn’t have to wrestle with the guilt they will inevitably feel. One time I helped bubble gum the house of a new child in the neighborhood, just because it was my best friend that wanted to do it. The father of the new child figured out who did it and made us clean it up. It is not fun to have to clean bubble gum off a wall on a hot summer day. But what I remember is the hurt in the eyes of that new kid on the block. They didn’t stay there long, so she never did get to really fit in. It could have been different.
