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.

A perfect way to overcome the fear of starting something.

Just one more layer to peel off the procrastination onion.

Sooner or later, you’ll realise with over 200 million blogs sites to choose from, that it is unlikely that you’ll be a global hit. Who knows, you may be, but you’ll only be if you share what really matters to you and you say what you really think.

Your voice matters, to you and to others like you, who will find you and love what you have to say. Especially, if you take the risk of being 100% you and saying something that is controversial, something that stands out.

The others who don’t get what you have to say or don’t like it, they don’t matter.

We are not here for everyone, so shout your name out and be proud of what you have to say.

But, if it helps you get started, then hide your name until you get comfortable.

My view is, write for yourself, then you’ll write your best stuff, ignore the comments and stats. Create your best work free from the fear of the critic.

Put your name to your work.
