Growing up, I always wanted to make everyone happy and the easiest way to do that is to agree to everything people say. Whether they voiced something that was in contradiction to what I believe in, a false statement, a statement that try to bring me down, etc. I used to put heavy weights onto their thought and ignore the voice in me even if it pains me every time I hear it. The downside to always agreeing to what people say is that personal growth is not developed this way; in order for us to grow, we have to believe in ourselves and to be able to think for ourselves.
One way to grow as a person is to stand up for ourselves. This does not come natural and it takes effort to actually doing it. A side effect to the action is we might make enemies along the way. There will be people who are apt up to push us aside in order to conquer the playground that we are in. We should all keep in mind people are generally good but as humans, we are all different in the way we live and as the result we are more likely to come into a disagreement. When we stand up for ourselves, we discover our true identity and as a result we will grow as a person. Sometimes we will run across people who will try their hardest to bring us down even if they are wrong. All we have to do is keep on being our true self and one day we will find one person who truly believes in us, but this only happens if we truly believe our own ability.
