BE A VOICE NOT AN ECHO
An echo is a repetion of sound. We all at one time had the opportunity to produce and hear an echo. The words we had spoken had come right back to us…
This led me to think about our lives, how many time have we imitated and acted upon words that someone else had spoken to us. As children we imitated our parents, as we grew some of the traits imitated became our persona.
Now to the point of this blog.
There are some that are totally content to follow some one else’s words and actions. I suppose it’s easier that way, the trail has already been set, all they need to do is follow the path. But there are others who are not.
Allow me to give you an example of the VOICE part of this blog. My daughter Patricia has always been a person of “voice”. From the time she was little she always made her voice heard, although sometimes irritating to a parent who is trying to mold her into what we thought she should be, she, most of the time marched to her own tune. Now that she is an adult, I realize the gift in her. She has a passion within her to make a difference. She believes that a voice can and should be heard. At this juncture of her life I see the difference she has made. Starting and selling a business, reaching for the stars and en route making a path for others, not to follow, but to be an example.
So my dear friends, I hope this made sense to you….Be a voice in this world. Never settle to be a mere echo..Let your voice be heard, your words and thoughts are just as important and powerful as any one else’s..
