Speak Your Truth

So often in life there are many things that go unsaid.  What if you lived like there was no tomorrow and spoke up about what is true for you in love and life?  It can seem like a scary concept because of social conditioning and judgement of what is considered right or wrong in terms of the way we should be, how we should act and what we should say.  Who is to say what you are thinking or feeling is good or bad?  If it is real for you then that is the only thing that matters.

Some people may be able to handle your honesty and others may not and that is just perfect.  Witholding your true self expression can cause you to feel inadequate, awkward or resentful.  At the end of the day, every single human being on the planet has different values, assessing situations in many varying ways and making judgements through their own eyes based on past conditioning and experiences.  It is important to know that there are people out there who understand you, accept you the way you are and value your willingness to express your innner self and beauty.

Regret can be debilitating and taking a risk can be frightening but nothing ventured, nothing gained.  What is it that you want to say to your family, friends, partner or the world?  Is there a project you want to start that delivers a message or makes a difference?  Is there a special someone you want to know how you feel about them?  Do you have unsaid family issues that you avoid talking about that you know are holding you back in life?  Whatever it is for you, say it with power, confidence and the knowing that loving yourself comes first to allow those around you to love you too!!
