Making Your Voice Heard


Wherever you live and whatever your nationality may be, I’m sure that you know the importance of “having your voice heard”. Currently, for us Americans, we’re being reminded to cast our ballots for not only the Presidential Election, but also for state and local positions, as well as extremely important amendments. This is well, good and proper, and I hope that all of you who are able will go out and cast your vote. I know that I have!

However, it’s important to remember that your voice can and should be heard in many more ways than only in the political arena. We have social media literally at our fingertips, and far too many people are misusing its power. Instead of broadcasting to the entire world why you’re voting “against” someone or something, focus your energies on something much more constructive – what do you stand FOR? What do YOU do to help make those things actually happen?

Now is the perfect time to make your voice heard in ways that can help you become as awesome as probably already think you are. In light of the natural disasters that are affecting people around the world (and right now, as an American, it’s once again on the home front), I encourage you to bring recognition to your favorite charity. It doesn’t matter whether it’s financially, with your time, or even a quick post via your favorite social media outlet; just use your individual power and influence to help make a difference.

Do good; feel good.
