Self-expression is the essence of human existence. You're called a mandabad, someone who speaks. But unfortunately, most of us have learned to speak from the youngest ages based on what people want to hear. And so, it's not really self expression. It's expression, but it's not self-expression. Most people wouldn't even know what they want to say. They've so many years said what everyone wants to hear it that they don't even know what they would say if they had the chance to say. God created the world that people would be fully self-expressed. That's the way it's supposed to work. It's called creativity. All the artists, all the musicians, all the business innovators, it's all based on self-expression. Self-expression is the hallmark of humanity. In the possible you, we finally get the courage to stop saying what everyone wants to hear and start speaking from our essence. No, you're not going to wind up saying crazy stuff or going in uh purple polkadotted t-shirts. There's a certain level of appropriateness in the way we express ourselves, but it's ourselves we express. And when you're fully self-expressed, you left nothing unsaid. You don't go to bed at night thinking, you know, if I had only said this, if I'd only said that, if I had only shared myself, if I had only shared my love. Don't die with your words unsaid. Don't die with your song unsung.
