Speak Up

Where you one of those shy kids who had to be told to “speak up”?
For fear of being wrong or being ridiculed, we decide not to speak.
And so we grow into adults still not willing to speak our truth. Our ego selves have us dumbed down, serving us the win for the ineffective speaking competition.

I am a classic. My ego-self took the gold for me. I got the trophy and displayed it proudly until with time it lost its shine, becoming dull and dusty. Silence and fear made a home of it and turned out the be the only beneficiaries of my ego’s gift.

One day something inside stirred.
A stretch, a yawn, and a wiggling of my proverbial toes.

It was time to wake up, to awaken.

To take back my power of speech and speak my truth.

I’m speaking.
