Be liked or be heard, that is the question
Which one will you choose, Verbalizer?
Hey Verbalizer,
Let me start by asking you a question…
What do you value more:
Being liked or being heard?
Ouch! A painful question that I’m sure you would rather ignore, I know.
Trust me when I say that I get it and I am still on that journey myself.
If you could take a peek into my journal, you would be amazed (and perhaps slightly horrified or amused 😅) by the number of times that likeability was more important to me than the courage to speak up and be heard.
That time in a leader's meeting.
That time with someone in my team.
That time at church even!
Yes, there are many times.
BUT there has been incredible growth!
I know that when I can answer that question truthfully and be at peace, then I am winning!
So let me ask you again…
What do you value more:
Being liked or being heard?
Hit reply if this resonates with you (so that I know I'm not alone 🙈).
Love, Laughter & Light,
'Ronke
