Speak Your Truth: It Does Make a Difference

By Marie T. Russell

We need to start “speaking our truth” in our day to day lives. We can no longer afford to stand back and “let things be”. This means being honest with ourselves, stepping out of denial, and seeing the state of things around us — in our families, in our neighborhoods, in our cities, in our country, in our world, in our universe.
— Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com
“The meek shall inherit the earth...” Those of us raised in the Christian faith know this statement well. And for many of us, myself included, it was interpreted to mean that we should bite our tongue, hold our peace, and not rock the boat. We should be meek, gentle, and kind — and keep quiet.
While of course, it is good to be gentle and kind, Jesus himself was not meek. I remember being rather shocked, as a child, at the image of Jesus creating havoc in the temple by throwing out the money-lenders. He definitely was not meek. He was also not meek when he spoke up about things he felt were wrong — the people casting stones against sinners, the Pharisees, etc. He was not shy or meek about speaking his truth.
It is time for us to take a stand for those things we believe in — love, equality, justice, fairness, and respect. Respect for ourselves, for the people in our lives, for the world itself and everyone on it. Each and every one of us is “response-able” — we are able to respond, we are able to make a difference.
