Say What You Need

Sometimes it's hard to say the things you need to help get your point across or just to get something off your chest.  I think there are many reasons for this.  One is that some people lack the self-confidence needed.  They believe they are not worthy of having an opinion, feelings, or contributing to a conversation in a meaningful way.

Another leading cause is the fear of hurting someone else.  Or what if 'they' don't like me anymore...rejection... which is really just a variation of a lack of self-confidence.  If only everyone would remember the golden rule:  Treat others the way you want to be treated.  Or the commandment: Love thy neighbor as thyself.  The world would be a better place and nothing would be left unsaid.
