Speak Your Truth and The Rest Will Play Out
Speaking your truth has become underrated in a society that is filled with people pretending to live the "good life" on social media.
It's so easy and so socially-accepted to pretend to live a great life on social media. People post their flawless, edited photos all over Instagram, they show off the best moments of their life on Youtube.
Now that we have a high level of access to technology that allows us to take essentially an unlimited amount of photos and videos, it's so easy to take thousands of photos and pick the best few hundred that make you look amazing.
So when people wonder about the best way to break out on social media, they need not look further than speaking their truth.
Speaking your truth means talking about what you know. It means talking about your passion and your interests in life. Your genuine interests.
Speaking your truth means leaving your borrowed notions by the wayside and focusing on your own personal journey.
If you learn to cultivate the skill of speaking your truth - and yes, this is a real skill that you can build upon - then you will surely reach great levels of success in whatever you're pursuing.
Whether you want to build your own brand, build up your following on social media DApps on Steem or elsewhere, or even do better in your career, speaking your truth is the surest path to your success.
I think another great skill to cultivate simultaneously is your ability to storytell. Storytelling has always been a revered skill for humans.
Whether you're telling a story by the campfire or on social media, being able to properly tell an amusing and engaging story will make you stand out from the crowd.
In history, the most revered people were often the ones who could tell the best stories. The rulers and the successful people were the articulate ones who were able to convey a story that corralled people to their side.
So cultivate these two skills and watch your influence rise!
