Sharing Your Work Is Brave: Why Your Voice Matters🗣️

By J.E. Nickerson | Wise Thinkers Help Desk 

Sometimes the hardest thing you can do is share your work and let your voice be heard.

After spending hours crafting your post—checking grammar, clarifying your message, and shaping your vision—pressing the “publish” button can shift from the most exciting part of the process to the most terrifying.

But here’s the truth:

Writing is not for the faint of heart.

It’s not for the bashful or for those who wonder if their words have value.

It’s for the people who feel that fear—and still choose to publish anyway.

Why We Share Our Work

When we share something—a blog post, a quote on Instagram, a reel on YouTube—we’re doing more than just posting content.

We are reaching out to connect.

We’re saying:

“My thoughts have value.”

“My voice matters.”

“My perspective could help someone else.”

Yes, likes and views are nice—they offer validation.

But the real reason we post?

Because there’s something inside us that refuses to stay silent.

⸻

Your Voice Has Purpose

You’re not just creating for fun.

You’re sharing because the voice inside you has something worth hearing.

You share because God has given you a unique vision and a story that can touch lives.

You may not know who it will reach. But your words matter.

When Fear Shows Up—Speak Back

The next time you feel afraid to share your work, recognize the fear.

Name it. But don’t let it take the lead.

Instead, try these affirmations:

• “What I have to say matters.”

• “My perspective is important and it will help other people.”

• “No one can say things the way I can, and what I say will inspire and encourage others.”

You Are Not Alone

If you’re worried about sharing what you’ve written, that’s a sign you care deeply.

It means your work is meaningful.

It means you’re growing.

And that’s a powerful thing.

Every creator worries if their work is “ready.”

But hold onto this:

✨ You are enough. Your voice is needed. Your work is worth sharing. ✨
