The Power of Speaking Your Truth

 

Yesterday in Washington, D.C., I attended a world-wide demonstration based on the youth of the United States, proudly, boldly, and authentically speaking their truth. Bearing witness to kids and young adults bravely speaking out about causes that matter to them reminded me of all the beauty that arises when we are unafraid to speak what’s truthful to ourselves.

We aren’t living in easy times. Since the tragedy that occurred in Parkland, Florida (a place where I spent a lot of my growing up years), I have felt a wide-range of emotions, and naturally so. The news cycles of the world today are also anxiety and fear producing. Taking all of this in day in and day out can leave us feeling defeated, powerless, and out of control.

March for Our Lives

My mom has said that truth is the basis of all healing, and in knowing this to be true, an event such as what I experienced yesterday was a huge part of the healing that so many of us in the United States, and worldwide, are searching for. Authentic truth, when spoken with compassion, wisdom, and understanding can be a powerful catalyst to transform the times that we are living in.

I left the March yesterday feeling so inspired, encouraged, and filled with hope. What a relief. Transformation via truth isn’t only available to those on big stages or with large platforms. Living, speaking, and being in our own unique truths is available to us right now, in this moment, and can bring so much positive change and meaning into our lives.

By speaking our truth…

…we can honor our own sense of identity and self.

…we can strengthen our sense of intuition, confidence, and truth in ourselves.

…we can live in integrity, and be aware of where and when we can improve in our lives.

…we can find a sense of freedom and ease.

…we can open ourselves up to community, connection, and meaningful interaction.

…we can promote needed healing for ourselves and those around us.

…we can open up the doors to possibilities and opportunities that we never imagined possible.

…we can spark movements promoting the change we wish to see.

…we can inspire others to speak their truths, and honor them in doing so.

Thank you for allowing me to share my truth with you each and every week. I’m so honored to be apart of this community where we value each other’s authentic truth and can share freely in this way. If you feel called, please let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
