Do You Take A Stance?

Jeanette Saldanha believes that when you have taken a stance with your life, you see the world as the remarkable, unlimited, boundless possibility that it is

- Jeanette Saldanha

Taking a stance is to adopt an issue or to hold one’s ground. In other words, it is to make a decision and stick to it. If you take a stance on a contentious issue, it means you believe strongly about it one way or the other. The stance that you take will greatly determine the tone of your message. When you take a stance you make a conscious choice and review the point you made and decide if your choices can be backed up by evidence. When you take a stance you find your place in the universe, and you have the capacity to move the world. Those who take a stance have lived in every era of history and have changed history through the sheer power, integrity, and authenticity of who they became as a result of the stance they took. Great human beings such as Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi, among many others, lived their lives from the stances they took.
