Sometimes you have to do things that will not be popular with everyone. You will have to find what is right for you. If you don't chose God as your Father, then, by default Satan is. Yes, that is a strong statement. Would it sound better if I said "if you don't chose light as your guide, then, by default, darkness becomes your guide."
In simple words, when you don't make a conscious decision about things, then, decisions about things regarding you are made by default, meaning they are not conscious decisions.
If you just drift along on the road that is wide, then you really don't take your life as being important.
One of the reason people don't make decisions to go against the grain is FEAR. Many feel the FEAR of being threatened in making decisions not popular. You may experience confusion or become defensive for your choices if you have fear.
You may even lose friends when you start making such decisions - start thinking for yourself. You may not be understood or supported with such decisions - especially if you have to explain and re-explain your points of view and reason.
Now comes LOVE - where there is gentleness, openness, and tolerance. With LOVE motivating you - you become calmly persistent, consistent, and clear as you communicate to those around you why you are making the choices you are making.
At the same time, you do have the right to say that you are tired of talking about it and simply need your choices to be respected. Your life belong to you and so do your decisions. Those who truly love us will stand by us and support our choices, never mind those that don't agree.
Much love,
Joseph
