WHISPER DON'T SHOUT

Good morning to you and to Thursday.  If I shouted or whispered good morning, you would hear me but who like to wake up to shouting?

Today's quote is, "Your voice need not be loud to make a statement."  Did you ever notice that with some people a calm disagreement can turn into a shouting match?

Why is it that we feel the need to raise our voices to make ourselves heard?  In case you don't know, the louder one is not always right.  Just louder.  Sometimes we raise our voices out of frustration thinking that when we are calm, we aren't heard; however that is exactly when we are heard.


Were you raised by a yeller?  If you were then you learned early on how to adapt and the way you did that was to tune it completely out.  Think of it as when you call your kids to dinner in the loudest voice possible.  No one moves right?

But start cursing in a whisper and there they are!  Your strength need not be found in the decibel of your voice.  Stand by your conviction, let your voice be heard and remember that sometimes the loudest sound comes from a whisper.  

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy
