Standing for nothing means you’ll fall for anything—and because you’re not standing, the ground is awfully close.  In short order, you find yourself supine, nose down and flattened like a pancake.  If that’s where you are, you’re to blame.  Don’t wait for a white knight to rescue you.  Rescue yourself—you have the most at stake and the greatest vested interest in you and your success.  Get up and move on, wiser, more determined, more resolved.  You create your future by the actions you take each and every day.
