Daily Meditation for October 2nd

Standing up for ourselves is hard, but it matters. It means facing fear, using our voice, and choosing not to shrink just to keep others comfortable. Even when it feels uncomfortable or risky, speaking up teaches us that we are strong and worthy of respect.

It will not always go smoothly. We may slip back into silence or doubt ourselves. But every time we try again, we grow braver and more honest with ourselves. Standing up is how we protect our peace and claim our place in the world.
