the power of your actions

Personal opinions are center stage in our modern world. Many of us share our opinions on social media or we do it the old fashioned way through lawn signs, bumper stickers, and t-shirts.

This is why we love America! Our opinions matter! Our opinion makes a difference.

As long as we are honest with ourselves and know our decisions are made from a place of love, it gives us confidence to move forward and change the world with our actions.

No matter if someone decides to post a comment of support or opposition, or if someone decides to speak up or not, it’s about respecting everyone’s individual choice to have their own opinion and express it their own way, in their own time.

Deep contemplation, self-exploration, and healing is sending a message too. It’s okay to take a breather and explore our reactions, our perspectives, and our motivations before we take action or choose to share our personal experiences. Because believe it or not, changing your mind is okay too.

Change starts from within. Meaning, differences in indivdual opinions would be the norm, not the outlier. So it's important to remember as we're exposed to unfiltered opinions, that we don't use these platforms as validators of truth, or measureing sticks for personal worth. And choosing not to share or post isn't a reflection of complacenty either. Sometimes, we just want to keep our opinions to ourselves because in reality, we are still formulating them.

Change isn't bad or good, it's what you make of it.
