Suffer In Silence Or Speak Up And Speak Out?

Suffer In Silence Or Speak Up And Speak Out?

Do you have something to say? Do you want to be heard? The world wants to hear you, the world wants you to use your voice.

I don’t mean your writing ‘voice’ (though the world wants that too).

I mean use your real voice, the physical one you born with. It’s one of the most powerful tools for expressing yourself and moving others, and unless you’re a musician, chances are you haven’t paid much attention to it.

Way too many talented, passionate people are scared to speak up. If you can’t speak up to the people closest to you – your friends and family, you won’t be able to speak up anywhere else. Start now, speak up.

How To Turn Your Strengths Into Super-Powers

Do you think you have strengths and weaknesses? You might. Do you think you need to fix or improve your ‘weak’ areas? You might. Before you do, let me offer you an alternative solution.

Turn your strengths into super-strengths.

Imagine all your strengths and weaknesses are like candles. Each one burns brighter the stronger it is.

For example, if you’re really good at dance, then that would be a very bright flame. If you’re not-so-hot at accounting, that would be a very dim flame.

You could go through your life trying to find every dim flame and brighten it to a decent level through hard work and discipline, until you’re "pretty good at most things". Be aware though, that this is a recipe for mediocrity.

The Magic Decision You’ll Make About Friends And Success

Note: This post is longer, more detailed, more honest, more raw, more powerful, and more necessary than anything I`ve ever posted. It is me baring my soul, and it may not be your thing. If you prefer your communication to be stale and professional, skip this. If emotional, emphasized, bolded, honest expression is not for you, skip it. If you want to know the real me, read on.

There’s a lot of buzz going around about ’being authentic’, ’being vulnerable’, and ’putting personality into your writing’.

Consider this post me throwing my hat into the ring, buckle your seat-belts,’cause I expect this to cause a few ripples.

Why?

Because I’m telling you to draw a line in the sand with your family, friends, and clients.
