Speaking your truth

Can be difficult at times, but gets easier after a while.
My brother says at 50, he's too old now not too..
Sod that.. as far as he's concerned he's earned the right to speak up. He says the art is knowing when to speak, and when to stay silent (not sure I've mastered that yet)

It gets easier when you feel, or are sure about what you’re saying, and have a strong sense of conviction behind whatever it is.
What can make it appear difficult is worrying about the reaction, reception, or how it may be received by others.
That's when we end up saying one thing... but thinking another.... sometimes

  1. Your brother is wise....yes we hold back on whats in our heart for fear of a fall out and sometimes what we mean is taken in the wrong context then before you know.....
