Say it So~Struggling to find your voice


It is the path of least resistance that makes rivers and men crooked.
- B.J. Palmer, father of chiropractic


Struggling to find your voice


In the face of conflict we might be tempted to just go with the flow and not make waves. The path of least resistance is saying "yes" when you want to say "no" and that road is always paved with regrets and mistakes.


While compromise is good and a necessary part of healthy relationships, no one should have to fully deny their feelings and remain voiceless while others dominate a situation. It might feel easier to nod your head and passively agree, but in the long run you are being cheated. While there might be a whole list of justifications and excuses for stepping off the path of your principles, staying true to yourself reaps countless more rewards than selling out to appease someone else.


Reconcile today the negative passivity you have displayed in the past.
