How do you measure....

The ultimate measure of a man or woman is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where they stand in times of challenge and adversity. We often don't stand up for what we believe in because we are afraid of what our competition, critics or family will say.  Often feeling it is to much work to justify our position. In doing so you are letting those who don't support you keep you from your goal or destiny. They don’t define who you are. They don’t determine your worth and value.  To truly measure who you are it is necessary to stand for what you believe in despite the critics, naysayers and mean wellers. You have the ability to measure up to anyone, the question is will you exercise it?
