Today you may feel rooted in your principles yet patient with those whose beliefs differ from your own. Since you are likely in an honorable mood and dedicated to an ethical stance that includes tolerance, you may find yourself standing up not only for your own principles but also for the principles of others. Your willingness to treat your morals as a part of your everyday life rather than as a doctrine you have memorized can help you avoid coming into conflict with individuals who wish to engage you in emotionally charged debates or disputes. Once those who oppose you have seen the strength of your conviction, they will likely cease their verbal volleys. Should you find yourself embroiled in conflict today, however, don't hesitate to plainly and thoroughly communicate your stance.

When you stand up for your beliefs or the beliefs of others, you demonstrate that your strength of conviction goes beyond the realm of mere words. Many people are quick to articulate their beliefs yet slow to defend them because their hearts are filled with uncertainty. As you stand up for your beliefs with passion in your heart, others will come to understand that your principles are intimately tied to your confidence and your courage. Few people you encounter will attempt to convince you that your beliefs are unsound. Rather, those who do not share your beliefs will be motivated to engage you in dialogue in order to learn more about your views in a nonconfrontational manner. Others will appreciate your dedication to your values today when you stand by your principles.
