Speak Your Truth

When we wake up in the morning from our rest in the morning, we are setting ourselves up for the day. We unconsciously plan out in our mind  how our day is going to go and how we will handle tough situations that try to knock us off course during the day. Basically, all we focus on is how we are going to "survive" each day. When we get into the mindset of, 'I just need to survive today and I'll be alright,' we forget how much time we are wasting when we could be creating the life we want. When we waste away the day saying we just want the day to be over with and done so we can rest again, we forget to speak our truth. When you say what you feel, people are going to notice it. Whether they like it or not is their problem. Speaking your truth means to open up your heart to others and speak about and demonstrate your ideas and values that protect you and others. It's tough to open yourself up for people to pick apart, disagree with, or criticize you. When you open up your mind and your heart, you become vulnerable. When you become vulnerable, your heart no longer has armor around it. You must remember that opening up will always have the chance that you could get hurt, however, opening up your heart does not mean you will always get hurt. Speak passionately, with love and kindness. Love, listen, and speak your truth.
