Voice

  
Everyone has a voice but many of us do not know how to express ourselves or there are some people that use their voice a little too much.  Well, what is too much? 

We have to take a stand against all the naysayers and the people who always tell us what to do or even worse, they always tell us “No”.  You may have one friend or dozens, either way they cannot be there for you all the time and at some point you need to stand on your own and speak up.  What do you want?  What do you need?  It is your life and it cannot be directed by others and at some point you need to be the one to tell them “No”.

Some people sound like they are professionals in your situation but how can they be?  Every situation and every person involved is a bit different and you have to go on your instincts.  You are the one who is the professional of your own life but no one will believe you if you cannot speak up.

Sometimes I have a problem with expressing myself and making my wants and needs clear to others.  It is time for that to cease and I need to take my own advice and speak up and take control of my path.  So far this year I have been able to make un-regrettable decisions and I want to keep that up.  Everyday my path gets clearer just as long as I stay focused and try my best to express myself.

Finding your voice can be hard but I just cannot let others decide for me.
