What are you FOR?

Learn not to define yourself by what you are against; instead define yourself by expressing with your actions and your words what you are for.  It is easy to criticize, but this has little value, for it is usually not wanted, and therefore not listened to.  It is of more benefit to praise that which is praiseworthy, to speak of the greatness of things.  There are plenty of others to do the criticizing.  -Max Strom


In the world of "I'm against this" and "You can't do that".  What if you were for something?  What if you were really FOR Compassion and acted on it everyday.  What if you were really FOR Happiness and not against sadness or depression.  What if you were really FOR Health and not fighting the battle of the bulge. 

When we are against something we are fighting and always trying to beat something down.  When we are FOR something we are lifting and raising something up.  Personally I think I would rather look up.
