We all have a few pivotal
experiences in life that change the course of our thoughts and actions.
These moments crystalize in our
mind and are ever present.
They mark an event we remember
every year for the rest of our lives.
There comes a time when a deep
intrinsic voice inside of us emerges to defend who we are
from the depths of our
being. It is the voice of prudence.
Prudence coupled with grace takes
over for patience when we have been
pushed against a wall. It is the deep fight or flight mechanism that
emerges and
gives us the courage to stand up
and defend ourselves in the face of danger.
When prudence takes over the
victim present inside us all ceases when
we stand up in opposition of
anything that oppresses or intimidates us.
Something powerfully intrinsic
happens when the courage to no longer be silent awakens
within us and we are compelled to
confront our problems rather than cower to them.
The things that torment us thrive
on our hushed fears and insecurities and they are
made powerless by a resilient
voice; an inner voice that says...
“No More!"
