Risks are Released...//

What I feel...is sometimes super hard to put into words and even more complex to explain to another. Recently, I have been learning about what I feel...and really the true core of how to express what I feel to another. It would be easy to sit down and express these thoughts if they would be accepted out of love and genuine interest...but the risk that they may not is hard to bare...and often stops me from saying what I need to say. This week I had a challenging conversation with a good friend...regarding the fear of knowing what to say...and her not wanting to be rejected. I am reminded that we all face this fear at one time or another...but I honestly told her...SAY WHAT YOU FEEL! Along with speaking what you feel...Speak what you know to be true! Often times we forget that when embracing what we feel, it is foreshadowed by what we know to be true. Before we have a feeling...we have to know truth. We have to speak truth...and truth leads to feelings. Honestly, when we speak what we feel...it should be based upon the truth of what we know. It's not so much fear and rejection that we are afraid of....it's that we are afraid of speaking truth...// When we speak truth...risks are released...and well, the risk could be rejected. In my experience...saying what you feel and embracing truth...has never let me down. Sure, the answer may not have been what I had anticipated nor expected...but truth was spoken...and the feelings were released. There's a sense of peace that comes when we speak truth to another. When you struggle with knowing how to express your feelings and saying them... simply state the truth...for it's perfectly stating what you feel. Not only are feelings released...but they are released thru the truth of what you have spoken...// The best words any ear could hear are when risks are released and spoken by the truth of a feeling.
