It’s inexplicable how every time you choose to stay silent eventually turns out to be the time you should have actually spoken up…
Yes, some day or the other we do think about this. During a conversation which can also turn into an argument or a disagreement we can often experience some rough exchange of words. It might not be loud, but can still hit you hard. Or you might just feel that this is not true or its not like that but you choose to stay silent at that moment.
That silence can be out of respect, a compromise, fear of situation going worse, or just staying inferior because your partner or the other person has dominating qualities.
It might also happen that the topic has gone so far that you simply want to end it now so keeping low key is what you prefer. But, that can also create contradictory effects.
Your staying silent can even be misunderstood. For what you did not say you might get to hear what you actually did not mean.
Speak up my friend, speak up what your heart yells, speak when you feel that something happening or being told to you is not right…. Speak up even if it sometimes is the truth and strikes the other person. Its not just the matter of wrong or right, at times its also about your self respect, about your conscience, about your feelings.
Do not wait for the day to come when you regret and the ‘i wish i had spoken up’ comes to you.
Never be ashamed to say sorry, and never back out when it is your chance to stand.
If, what if, maybe, i wish…. dont waste your time thinking and complicating.
Life may give you a hundred chances but you never know which one is the hundredth.
Very true… communication is the key to any healthy relationship
Thanks a lot. 😊
Most of the times we do not let our thoughts out. And gradually start getting suppressed. That’s not the way. Life becomes suffocating. So, as rightly said, SPEAK UP!
GREAT READ!
