Find Your Inner Rebel
Stand up for what you know is right. By Diana Murray

Were you ever called a “rebellious” teenager?
Were you a good kid, who stood up for yourself and for others against power tripping adults and corrupt authority?
Were you easily able to instinctively see through people who were obviously lying, or misusing their power for their own agenda or, simply to make themselves look good and “responsible” by making you look bad to others?
Did you find a group of friends who were just like you? Who were good, smart, kind and caring, who were constantly blamed and scapegoated in an attempt to avert attention away from what was actually going on - precisely because your inner strength was threatening to those people?
Did you smoke cigarettes, drink, run away from school, stand up for yourself to teachers when they tried to shame and humiliate you as punishment for being smarter and braver than them? Get accused of things you didn’t do, and always have to prove yourself?
Were you courageous enough to be different, even if everyone said you were wrong?
Yet, you NEVER did what they did.
You didn’t bully kids that were younger or weaker than you, just because you could.
Did you instinctively KNOW the difference between right and wrong, good and bad?
If you answered YES to these questions, I’m asking you to think back to that time.
Remember who actually are inside. Remember that feeling of inner confidence.
Try to see through all the bulls&$@ of the world through the eyes of that person.
Fighting against the weak for your own personal agenda isn’t a Rebel.
That’s a Bully.
A peaceful person, who is willing to stand up for what’s right - that’s a Rebel.
Because we are the people who can make a difference. We are the people who have natural power, but don’t use it for the wrong reasons.
That’s what GOODNESS is.
Stand UP for what you KNOW is right. Stand AGAINST what you KNOW is wrong.
Always using minimum necessary force.
Others will follow you. There are others who are just like you.
They are all around. They just forgot. We got tired from constantly having to fight and we needed to rest.
They called you a “trouble maker”.
You were actually a “trouble REVEALER”!
It’s time to wake up!
Start by speaking.
