The greatest invisible but yet visible weapon human beings have is the voice. The voice power has got the ability to travel faster than where the human legs can ever reach, our voices have got the ability to resonate and depict different situations and happenings around us, you are right to say it is our reality. It can function in so many diverse ways, it can create our reality through words, it can uplift souls, it can bring justice or judgment, and also it can create fears.
It will eventually do that which you want it to do, overtimes we have got a lot of respected individuals that have one way or the other made use of their voices to cause a significant change in the world we live in. The likes of Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Amanda Gorman, the young and vibrant lady doing great things through the power of her voice and poets. I won't forget the impact of the African voices in Nigeria during the End Sars protest last year, the world was aware of the happenings in the country all through the power of their voices added to the media.
Your voice is powerful, how do you use it? You can change that situation and challenge you are facing now just by the power of your voice, you might be wondering how possible that could be, when i was younger during my high school days, i didn't like the kind of life we live, no funds, parents struggling to make hands meet, i got tired of it all and you know what i did as young as i was, i stepped out to a car wash and i met the manager, and i said to him, "I am strong, and agile, i can work and get the cars sparkling clean in no time, test me with one of the cars if it's not neat just pay me off" this i did without my parent's consent, it was a manual wash as at then, it wasn't automated and more so in Africa where I am from.
I got the job, washed the cars, and i was paid, the rest you don't want to know because I was told to wash a jeep taller than i was. Your voice is powerful, it can set things right and demand justice when necessary, engage your voice today and you will be amazed at the tremendous outcome you will get.
