Unmute Yourself 

There’s Beauty in Your Story

When we decide to press the mute button on ourselves, we are making a decision to despise our journey. What we have gone through was painful, but we can turn it into something beautiful by helping others to heal. We turn ashes into beauty when we use our voice to go back to help someone else prosper from painful experiences. 

How to Unmute Yourself

1. Seek Healing. When you want to tell your story from a healed perspective, you have to put in the work to heal from your painful past. Therapy, counseling, inner-healing, praying, and talking to friends is one way that you can combat despising your unique story. We discontinue the cycle of inflicting pain on others when we decide to heal from our wounds. 

2. Forgive Them. When you are still tethered to past shame, disappointment, and regret, you are not going to be able to soar into your destiny. You have to release people from the wrong that they have done to you. I know this is easier said than done, but you have to choose to forgive others and yourself. If you don’t, you run the risk of not being able to share with others the beauty of your story. 

3. Look for the Jewels. While you are going through a journey of healing from painful experiences, you should be extracting wisdom and jewels from these experiences. You can prosper from pain by sharing with others what you have learned and how it can help other people to thrive. 

4. Control the Narrative. You are not what happened to you. You become powerful by making the decision that you will not feel defeated because of what has happened to you. Also, do not mute yourself because you think that this story has been told before. A similar story may have been shared, but you have a unique perspective and voice. You also have an audience that may not read someone else’s perspective, but they will read your story. 

5. Prosper From Your Pain.  Prosper inwardly by acknowledging and celebrating that you do not look like the suffering that you have endured. Celebrate by being vocal about how you came out on the other side victorious! You may be wondering why you are here and not others. You are still here because what was meant to keep you on mute did not defeat you. You are still here because you have a powerful story to share that can shift the trajectory of someone else’s life.

Unmute yourself. Turn the volume up to let people know that you found a way to prosper from your pain.
