Just Say it !!

How many times have you found yourself wishing you had just opened your mouth and said what you really wanted to? For most of us there have been hundreds of times throughout our lives where we wished that we had spoken our minds and stood up to someone who was basically just a bully. Maybe you didn’t have the confidence to ask for something that you deserved, like a promotion or a raise. Yes, we’ve all been there at one time so no big deal. Right? Wrong! I know how important it can be to speak up and just say it because believe it or not, if you don’t- your life can take a whole other path. I am not talking about communicating where you have to divulge your most inner feelings and secrets. I am referring to those two or three little words when it matters most. As I look back at my life, I realize that not saying what I wanted to say exactly when I wanted to, literally changed my life. Miscommunication can absolutely destroy lives, love’s, happiness, friendships and trust. It can create so much hurt, disappointment, anger, confusion, jealousy, loneliness. It sounds odd to think that just 2 or 3 words can actually affect the rest of your life. If you don’t speak up and say to those who mean the most to you something as simple as ‘Don’t go’ or ‘please stay’, how will they ever know that is what you really want? What keeps us from just opening our mouths and saying what can actually be the most important thing to someone? Fear. Fear of the unknown. Maybe we don’t say it because we are afraid of just standing up for ourselves and afraid to be our true selves. No matter what the reason is, the next time you are in a situation where you have the opportunity to Just say it, to just say how you feel to those who mean the most to you, Just Say It! You’ve got nothing whatsoever to lose. But, if you don’t say it, you have everything to lose.; like (the ones you love more than they will ever know because you didn’t tell them when you had the chance)
