Stay True




 trees do not ask permission to yield fruit. the sun does not need supporters in order to rise and set. you do not need people to believe in you to do what you were created to do. Diamond Dorris


Sharing some views from my girl Maxie McCoy
When we're focused on what we're saying in order to get the desired response we want, we aren't really saying what we need to say. Now yes, do certain professional communications, negotiations and back 'n forth require calculated strategy? Of course. But when it comes to matters of the heart –you know, that thing you feel like you really need to tell them –What you say, what you write, what you communicate shouldn't ever be about what you hope to get in response. You simply need to speak from a space of your feelings, your truth, your heart.


The things you address or call attention to or give feedback on or communicate are best said when they're because you need to respect yourself, to love yourself, to uphold your boundaries, or to stand in your own truth and expression.

You just need to ask yourself: do I need to say this for me? Or am I saying this because of how I hope they'll respond? 
Peace
