The Power of Speaking Up!

The Power of Speaking Up!

“There is power in being able to speak up — even when it’s difficult.” - The Medium. The feelings of fear and anxiety over what people would think when we speak up can be overwhelming, thus making us unable to speak what is on our minds. Our voice has the power that can be both powerful and terrifying. Speak up when you feel that it is the right thing to do and will do justice for everyone, not for your own advantage.

Allows your self-growth

People have different opinions, and that is okay. You do not have to make everyone agree with you. Just sharing what you have in your mind is enough. You also need to have a strong principle and not easily change your mind. It is also important to keep in mind that you do not spread misinformation.

Speaks for the voiceless

Sometimes, people are afraid of the outcome if they speak up, of not getting enough support. They need someone to make the first move.

Chances to make an impact

As you get older, it is better to feel satisfied with your life than to feel regretful for doing nothing out of being afraid.

Gives inspiration to other people

Aside from expressing your own ideas, you might also inspire other people to speak up as well. Especially on topics like racism, feminism, and other human rights movements.

Acknowledge the value of your opinions and thoughts

It might have been hard to do so back then, but nowadays, people are encouraged to express their opinions. When there is a topic of discussion, do not hesitate to share what is on your mind.
