There’s a time and a place to express your true feelings

 

“There’s a time and a place to express your true feelings.”

A smile that is insincere is a turn off. Saying, “Have a nice day,” without meaning, does not go unnoticed. Apologies with little depth won’t be accepted by those you have hurt or deceived.

We all have feelings, as well as the need to express them.

An awareness of how your feelings affect what you say is important. It’s okay to be frustrated or mad. And, it’s perfectly normal and acceptable to express emotions. Just remember to be aware of how your frank expressions or true feelings may make someone else feel.

Such consideration for others encourages consideration for you.

You were born with a capacity for great courage, for
trust in your surroundings and for faith in yourself.
But something happened along the way that changed
this positive capacity.
If you were criticized at an early age and denied
encouragement by those you trusted you could
learn to believe that something was wrong with
you. Over time, such beliefs may appear as the
absolute truth-a definition of your identity.
Guess what? It's simply not true! You are perfect
and it's time to act that way. As hard as it may be
to regain your self-esteem, you can forget and forgive
what happened when you were young. You can
regain the courage, trust, and faith that are your
birthright, by recognizing that, although youthful
disillusionment can be changed, it can be overcome.

 

Stop stopping

Stop stopping yourself. Stop holding yourself back.

Stop giving power to your limitations. Instead, give commitment, action and persistence to your best possibilities.

Fear and anxiety are immensely compelling, yet you are even stronger. The inertia of complacency is powerful, and yet you can overcome it.

Whatever may have been holding you back has done so with your cooperation. Choose now to no longer cooperate.

You have made the excuses and rationalizations, and you can now let them go. You have focused on the fear, and you can now move beyond it.

The challenges facing you are very real, but that doesn’t mean you must add to them. Instead, use the positive power of your life to move successfully through them.
