Speech Target by Teodora Oniceanu

Speak Up, Because Silence Is Not Always Gold

The art of communication is not mastered by just knowing what to say and how to say it.

A big factor is knowing when to say it.  So often people sit back and say nothing when something really needs to be said. It could be an idea, a suggestion, an observation, a criticism…but for some reason they don’t want to speak up.

They may be afraid of hurting another person, looking mean or foolish, or…

Some days my mind never shuts up about how the world should be. I just need to get it out and share! 

There needs to be more self-respect and self-love. More self-understanding and self-awareness. You are responsible for you and only you. When you love someone, you can show your partner that same amount of respect you give yourself. The same amount of love, understanding, and awareness as yourself. 

You cannot control another person. You cannot change another person. The only thing that you can do is speak your truth and listen to other’s truth. Try to just listen to understand rather than listen to respond. We each have a different perspective of life. 

We are all trying to find our paths, find what makes us happy, and find what resonates within us. Let us teach one another through our example of truly loving and accepting one another along this journey; we are trying the best we can.
