Sometimes it seems easier to go along with others rather than stand up for what we believe in. It’s normal to want to avoid the discomfort of stating our objection. We may fear that the disagreement might hurt their feelings or cause them to view us unfavorably.

In that balance lies the secret to leading a life that’s both thoughtful and even more importantly…

Authentic.
