Many of us struggle with speaking our truth and finding healthy ways to express our needs and then to get those needs met. We are taught that we need to be positive all the time. And, our need to show the world a positive front at all times, can lead us to acting passively aggressive. For you see, our inability to ask for what we want is a heavy burden. And, if we can’t be assertive and ask for what we want, 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 can leave the people around you dazed and confused. Today, the Universe wants us to feel our feelings and know we deserve to express them in healthy, assertive ways. Today, choose to be direct rather than indirect. Choose to express your needs, wants, and feelings clearly so that others know how to meet your needs. Today, consciously set your intentions to stop using passive aggression to get what you want. 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 people's thoughts and opinions stop you from speaking your mind. Speak up today, you deserve to be heard!

Just for today, I have the power to speak my truth. I have the courage to ask for what I want. I am worthy of all that is good. And so it is.
