Voice

Voice. Albert Einstein said, "Be a voice, not an echo." These are very powerful words. How often do we live our life echoing the culture around us?  How often do we ask ourselves what do we really believe? What do we really want?  How often do we silence our voice for fear of being misunderstood? It takes courage to live that voice and not just echo someone else. I've always admired the unconventional. What allows them to be so original? How do they break away from the tried and true? Austin Kleon's writes in his book, Show Your Work, "Talk about the things you love. Your voice will follow." We all have our own unique voice and it should be heard.
