Speak, whether it is simply using your voice, or through the written word. Try as much as possible to make your words positive ones, because words are seeds.

Speak about life, its essence, its beauty, your loves, your passion for it all, your ideas and inventions. Our world needs more creativity, and when we share it with others, we inspire each other. It builds.

Speak about the values that you believe lend integrity to life, that build the moral fiber of society, the higher ideals of philosophers. No dream is too lofty. We really need more big lofty dreams right now, because dreams when embraced passionately have this curious way of manifesting.

Speak to protect the innocent, for they do not have the experience to know when they are being preyed upon, or the wherewithal to protect themselves. We who do know better have a responsibility to protect them.

Most of all, simply speak your inner truth. Give yourself time to really get in touch with it. You know more than you think you do.
