What do you stand for?

I was at a friends for dinner the other night, and a song came on. It's been one that has caught my attention later, and I enjoy singing along with it. The song is by the band "FUN" and is called "Some Nights". The comment came up that it's a good song, except for the lyrics:

"Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for. 
What do I stand for? What do I stand for? 
Most nights, I don't know anymore..."

It got me thinking. What do I stand for? And how does that compare to others? Do we all stand for the same thing? Or are there small differences between others?

I'm still not sure what the answer is...but currently, my understanding of life and faith is that everyone's faith is their own. We live in a community of believers, but everyone's faith is their own and no one really knows the full extent of anyone's faith (except Christ). 

I'm not sure this is coming out right...

I think I'm struggling with something. Not my firm foundation of knowing the Christ died for my sins, and similar big things. But maybe it's the smaller things, where everyone has their own interpretation which they think is right. What if you're not right? What if one person is right but another person isn't? I'm just so confused. 

Life is not simple...that's for sure. I just have to continue to seek God's will for my life and hope and believe that it's the right one, despite what others may think or say to me....
