Say it

Posted on by philipdodson

We all have something to say.

Often though we don’t say what we really want to say because we fear to be different or rejection or causing offence or to be ridiculed.

We are all entitled to our opinions, there is no right or wrong, only what we as humans have deemed to be so.

So if you feel you have something to say, then say it as it is.

It is our collective responsibility to help and allow others to feel free to speak and to remain open to views other than our own.

The world needs people to speak up and there are many views, observations and amazing thoughts that can be silenced by bigotry.

It is the brave person who has a voice and the coward who tries to silence others.

So say it.

I’m sitting on top of the world

Well on a large stone outside Lisbon Castle looking out over the city and the river. 
It’s the day after 3 days of an intense and amazing OuiShare Summit. 

I have connected with like minded people from all over the world who had gathered in Lisbon to make a difference, people who care, people who are willing to discuss deep topics that matter, people who want see systemic change, people who truly care about values and living by them. 

I feel totally energised from this gathering and I feel optimistic that there is a force for change. 

The one thing to stay mindful of is while sitting on top of the world, it is important for us all to see the other view, to see the other world, to see beyond our own views and to realise real change is a responsibility of each of us. 

We could all choose to be the leader we want to see and to remove blame on others and show up and make our difference and to not tear down what is there but to create a different and inspiring alternative that others will love, adopt and evangelise to the rest of the human race. 

Thank you OuiShare for this opportunity to be part of your community of change makers.
