Never be afraid to speak from the heart. The more you are able to share your thoughts and feelings the more open your heart will be. I am a firm believer of telling the people in my life how important they are to me. This even goes for when someone has done or said something that hurt my feelings.

My dad died about 15 years ago and from that moment on I realized how important it is to tell people you love them. It wasn’t until 5 years before my dad passed away that he said I love you to me. I knew he loved me but hearing it is a totally different thing. I grow up in a house were you weren’t allowed to express your thoughts or feelings. Allowed sounds like a strong word but really if I ever disagreed with my dad it wasn’t a pleasant situation. I learned to just stuff my feelings inside .

Never be afraid of the outcome of speaking your mind. If your in a relationship and things aren’t going that great talk about it. If for any reason you disagree and your relationships ends it’s not a bad thing. It just means it was going to happened sooner or later. An example is if you partner won’t make a commitment to take your relationship to the next level and you end up breaking up. It’s better to know now. On the other hand you could have a positive outcome due to you bring up the subject.
