Okay, hi.
This is not the kind of post that I usually do, but I do think it’s really important for you to hear.
You have a voice.
You have things that you are passionate about, things that ignite you and light you up and send you soaring into dreams and possibilities only you can imagine.
There’s something unique about you that no one else in the world has, and I think that is absolutely amazing.
If you have trouble speaking up, if your words cannot be heard in the chaos of millions of other voices, if no one is there to listen to you, please don’t let that discourage you. If you have a message that you want to share, share it.
You have people around you who care about what you have to say. Starting small is okay, because if you keep going, more people will hear your voice.
I know it’s hard. The road isn’t always easy.
But you have something to say that people need to hear.
A very wise friend of mine once told me that I had good stuff to say. “I’m glad you write,” he said. Those words have been immensely encouraging to me.
And I’d just like to say those same words to you. I’m glad you draw. I’m glad you write. I’m glad you stand up for what you believe in. I’m glad you’re chasing your dreams.
Why? Because you have something to say. Something that could lift people up, light a spark in them, inspire them. Something that could build people up in a place where we too often tear others down.
You were designed to make your own mark on the world. There’s someone out there who needs to hear what you have to say to them, if only you can speak out loud enough for them to here.
But you know what? You’ve got this. You totally do.
Bit by bit, step by step, you can make your dreams happen, reach the people you want to reach, and inspire and encourage and motivate others.
So go.
Go make your mark.
I’m cheering you on.
