Many of us struggle with speaking our truth and finding ways to express our needs and to get them met. We somewhere along the line were taught that we needed to be positive all the time. And, our need to show the world a positive front at all times, can lead us into acting passive aggressively. For you see that our inability to ask for what we really want is a heavy burden to bear. And, if we can’t be assertive, and ask for what we want, then we have to beat around the bush to achieve the same result, and that’s why so many of us suffer from people pleasing and passive aggressive behavior. Behind passive-aggression lies a valley filled to the brim with anger and hostility. When this valley can no longer support all the pent-up negativity, it will come out in a furious outburst that will leave the people around you dazed and confused. You see this all the time with people who suppress their feelings. Today, the Universe is giving you permission to feel your feelings and know that you deserve to express them in healthy assertive ways. Today choose to be direct rather than indirect with people-pleasing behavior. Choose to express your needs, wants, and feelings. You may lose some friends by finally being direct and speaking your truth because people have gotten used to the people-pleasing you. However, it will be worth it. If you’re engaging in passive-aggressive behavior, it’s time to have the courage to confront yourself, because what lies on the other side is infinite possibility. Today, don’t let the fear of what people might think stop you from speaking your mind. Speak up today, you deserve to be heard!

Just for today, I recognize that Life is really simple and easy. What I give out comes back to me and what I choose to believe about myself becomes my truth. I am willing to release the need to feel unworthy. I am worthy of speaking my truth. I am worthy of the very best in life and I now lovingly allow myself to accept it. I have the courage to speak my truth. I am safe when I speak my truth and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
