Now-a-days it is more important than ever to find out, decide and do who you want to be and do!
There are soooo many other voices yelling into the airwaves, ‘Conform to my ways’, ‘do as I want’, ‘don’t think, just do’, ‘you can’t do that’, nobody’s tried that before’, ‘it won’t work’, ‘give up before you embarrass yourself’, ‘no one will like it/you/your work/voice/writing’, and on and on and on… fill in your blank________!
These voices are voices of fear; afraid of somebody else outperforming them, afraid no one will notice them, afraid of change (you bringing change to their comfort), afraid of what others will/might think, afraid of being embarrassed – shame – fear of shame…that they didn’t think of or try what you were brave enough to begin or say….”What if she succeeds at what I wanted to do but was too afraid to begin…I’ll feel like a fool!”
And yet, there is room enough for everyone to bring their gifts and talents; room enough and money enough to provide for all the needs through all the services provided that the other voices are trying to silence.
Step up and step it up! Your voice, talents, services, help is needed now-a-days more than ever!
It seems there is a concerted effort to shut people up into the quiet-zone, to stifle their new ways of thinking (creativity), to mold them into sameness…no feathers ruffled…boy do I have a lot to say about this! More later…!
Be on the ‘think-out’. Never give up/quench your desire/ability/need to voice your good/helpful/inventive/ingenious thoughts.
Write them down for further pondering…don’t cast them off as nothing important. They came to you for a reason.
What do you think?…Now let’s do!
