I’ve always had a difficulty expressing my opinions bc of the way I was raised. I often felt not heard and in my household and whenever I tried to give my opinion it was met with conflict. So in the real world I always thought it was normal behavior for people to take my opinions with conflict. I don’t talk on pretty much anything but I listen to people give theirs with open ears whether I agree or not bc I’ve never wanted someone to feel how I’ve felt. what I’m writing is pretty much off topic I know. But I know in a sense i’m healing or working on it slowly just with the simple fact that I speak with respect or try to, and I don’t get a yelling screaming conflict with anyone. I’m trying to find the courage to speak up and vocalize my opinions.

I like the phrase.. "What ever you say, say it with great respect.."

Takeaway: It takes courage to speak your truth. It's not easy, it takes practice, but it is doable. Thanks Robin!

Sir I’m in the military and was only able to listen to about 9:40 of this video this morning.

Let me tell you, this video has changed my life already.

I applied what you said in the work setting and I am now respected more than ever amongst my peers and my chain of command.

Thank you!

I am a person that struggles with speaking my truth all the time. For many years I thought that what I had to say didn’t matter because I didn’t love or respect myself but as I get older and I’m trying to improve as a human being I see I have to love myself by expressing what I feel because it does matter. I pray whoever has this struggle as well will overcome it and be able to be and share themselves unashamedly.

If you don't speak your opinions, "It damages your relationship with yourself. "If you speak your truths -" Most importantly, it builds the relationship with yourself. "

[rajatmalviya]

I learn that i don't need to care about others. First do care about myself.

Robin Sir, I have been following you since an year. Trust me, I wish I get Mentor as same as you.
Your teaching on personal development and professional development is incredible !
You teaches us in very simple language..and that's the most amazing part of you.

I would like to understand one things that always confused me and because that I got a lot of damages.


*What is Self respect. How to identify the difference between Self respect and ego?*

[mikewakefield]

Your information is working great for me. The average person doesn't understand having a relationship with themself. They don't understand what that means. They end up not being able to contemplate this amazing message you have sent. I love the message. I watched it twice already. Your universal self is more complicated than you are and so it is critical that one contemplates what it means metaphysically to have a good relationship with yourself. It is very difficult, because as a kid, your "universal self" started off broken and it probably remained broken all the way until you watched this video. You then ignored the most important message, have a good relationship with yourself first.

This is great. We sometimes tend to hold our tongues too much when we really should be saying something to make a change or an impact. We sometimes don't and that allows it fester. I need to remember and speak my truth.
Thank you.

I actually tried this out in every aspect of my life (including work). Great content -- an incredibly relevant topic in today's world.

Unfortunately, I think the shift from being quiet and reserving my own judgment to suddenly voicing it was far too much for the people around me to handle. I've been disciplined, counseled, and even approached by HR -- who specifically told me: "Sometimes keeping our thoughts and opinions to ourselves is the key to thriving in the professional world."

Despite all of the negative feedback, I'm going to continue moving forward with this tactic. It's sort of amusing to watch the color drain from somebody's face when you do, in fact, you speak your truth!

[hanaeelkholti]

Thank you for your video. I never ever was able to speak up my mind . I just ignore what I really think and I agree to everything even if I strongly disagree just because I’m afraid that people will not like me and also because I hate confrontation. It starts getting into me because I feel it is not fair and people are taking advantages of me !!

[AirElegant]

I am going to re watch this again and again. So helpful 💗

[beatakalo]

I love the restaurant example. Always be kind and lovely and be true to yourself. That's the mastery session. Practicing!

[JulianaRamirez-vymu]

This video is amazing. Yes it is so important to speak your truth. Speak your opinion with confidence, and with respect.

[fatimaa]

I was very confident and outspoken growing up! I never had trouble expressing and voicing my opinions as a kid, but my family is very abusive and everytime I would speak out against them or defend myself, they would silence me and overtime this trained my brain that, speaking out and voicing what you believe in is dangerous and will get me and others hurt. This made very timid and sensitive. I've become a people pleaser and I constantly feel like I have to walk on eggshells around people bc I was trained to avoid conflict and make people happy. This lead to a lack of boundaries because I'm scared of offending anyone!
