Be A Voice

Don't be an echo. Be a voice.

What comes to mind when you read this?

For me, an echo repeats back what someone else said, it follows, it expresses the ideas or feelings that someone else already expressed, and it bounces back with less intensity than the original.

I see a voice as something imaginative, fresh, unique, a set of words that might inspire or share a perspective.

A voice might convey something more personal and meaningful. It leads.

More than three years ago, I wanted to get my voice out into the world and I embarked on my Thursday Thoughts journey. Text messages to immediate family evolved into a website blog, email messages, and LinkedIn posts.

I get to share my thoughts about life’s blessings, challenges, and everything in between, inspired by what I read, listen to, observe, or somehow experience.

What are some ways you might share your thoughts, express your opinions, or use your voice?

Perhaps you speak up in a meeting or classroom. Or tell friends or family what's on your mind. Or articulate your position via an email.

Regardless of the path you choose, you get to:

👉 state your perspective

👉 share what's meaningful

👉 enrich the lives of those around you

The world wants to hear what you have to say in whatever way you choose to say it.

Don't be an echo.

Be a voice.

Create your life.
