    I think equally the negative ones as the positive — both can be utilized to grow and develop. I think there’s actually a gift someone gives you when they do something that isn’t so great towards you — it’s like a way of teaching you what not to be and making you question if you behave like that or have those tendencies. I think when we encounter people who have qualities that rub us the wrong way it’s an invitation to understand what we personally may have of those tendencies and to make the choice to try to embody something different.

    Interesting question. I guess I’m most
    grateful for the voices of wisdom and
    the voices of beauty.

    There are a few; First & Foremost the voice/guidance of the Divine.✨ I would be lost without the word from above.
    My daughter. She has a very good head on her shoulders & is very wise.
    My dear Cousin, so full of love & happy.
    A few friends.
    And my own voice; my intuition. It’s taken a while but I have learned to listen & hear her & trust her.
    Happy peaceful weekend All…🕊️

    There are quite a few voices that have been in my life. I will always remember the voice of my Mom…she passed away when I was very young..but I never will forget her voice and her love. The voice of my husband…I know I am safe and loved. My own voice…and the voice of God that I listen to in my mind. I cannot end without identifying the voice of freedom…how Blessed we are to live in a free country..it is not perfect by any means…but we are free. And the voice of all the wonderful people here…Thank you!!

    As Carol and Michelle mentioned, I’m so grateful for the voices of all of those who frequent this site. We all come from different parts of the country and world, we all have very different diverse backgrounds and life stories, and a collective wealth of wisdom to share. I’m grateful for this space that brings us together – for the chance to connect with others whose paths might otherwise never cross with my own. Happy Saturday! ☀️

    Others here have named well the most significant voice I treasure. I call her Spirit, Sophia, Wisdom, …that place within where my spirit & the Divine Spirit are one. It has taken years of growth to attune myself to when it’s her voice amid the conflicting voices which sometimes harass me.

    Great question which generated good introspection leading to deeper gratitude for the Divine within.

    I am grateful for all voices that enrich my growth. Many of those voices frequent this site and I am so grateful for them. They comfort me and challenge me to grow in greater self awareness. When I know better, I do better.

    So many came to mind but the one that kept emerging was my own voice of intuition. When I listen, it steers me in the right direction.

    The voice that I’m grateful for is my mom’s voice. I used to travel a lot for training and competitions as an athlete since I was 12 years old. I will never forget the moments when I arrived at the airport; my mom’s voice was always the first voice I could distinguish among the crowd. It was the voice that signaled I was home, I was safe, I was back!

    The voices I’m grateful for are: Ngoc, my inner voice, and Paw Mu. Ngoc has a natural sweet voice. My inner voice keeps me: prepare my mindset for the unexpected, detached from my emotions, calm under chaos, gives me the confidence to adapt to my environment, and helps me navigate through delicate balances.
    Paw Mu’s voice was stronger. She taught me to value character over appearance. The voice is considered the ladder. Since I’m attracted to a woman with long hair and a natural sweet voice, I deeply value appearance. I just prefer to not discuss that openly on the table. Having controversial opinions means that we care about the world, but simply put, some things are better left unsaid like silent letters. Paw Mu is right. If we make appearance first priority, we’re really going to get hurt.

    My mother’s, whose steadiness both offered compassion for difficulties yet helped me move forward through them.
    A dear friend who passed away more than a year ago. She was a kind soul who shepherded me through one of the most difficult periods in my life.

      Laura, I can resignate with you on my mom. She’s known to speak her mind but is a good listener. Like Ngoc said in an answer some time a month or 2 ago concerning my dad’s multiple mialoma and her breast cancer, she’s the one who uplifts the family. Taking her advice seriously during the tough times of our earlier days has benefitted my marriage with Ngoc.

    The voice in my life I am most grateful for is my own. I have grown to trust it over all others. That is not to say that I do not appreciate the many wise women and men in my life who have taught me, influenced me. But at the end of the day, the voice inside my being, my heart, my mind is my guide.

      Well said, Mary. Ultimately, we have to make our own decisions. We’re the only ones who can help ourselves. It’s “You help you.”
