Silencing ourselves is usless

I read Sarah's Blog today and felt the outrage inside of me, felt the tears come to my eyes, felt my face getting hot.

What strikes me is how often we take some "experts" word on something, knowing that it might not feel right inside, yet saying "what can I do about it?"... washing their hands of the situation.

Without even questioning it.

Not listening to our inner voice.

Not even going for another opinion.

So nothing changes.

Silence is our own worst enemy.

Remaining silent causes illness. Remaining silent causes conflict. Remaining silent causes stress and breakdown. Remaining silent allows atrocities that are happening in our world to continue to happen.

All it takes is for you to open your mouth. Express how you feel. Speak from the truth of your own experience.

The world changes, one by one.

Your truth will find that which is the truth in another's experience. And their truth is awakened to the possibility of being expressed as well.

In other words by speaking your truth you inspire others to speak theirs.

As we each go about speaking our truths, not willing to be silent anymore, society can no longer ignore the things we have stopped talking about because it is unpleasant or sad to think about.

The world will change... it takes courage, clarity, connection and voice.
