Your Inner Voice Doesn’t Need to Be Loud to Be Right

"If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you."—Fred DeVito

There’s a voice inside you.

You may not always hear it clearly. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t argue. It doesn’t compete with the noise of the world. But it’s there: steady, quiet and waiting.

Your inner voice is not loud, but it is true.

And truth doesn’t need to shout to be powerful.

We’re conditioned to listen to the loudest voices, the ones outside us. Authority, urgency, pressure, the crowd. We’re told that if it’s not clear, it must not be real. That if we’re uncertain, we should ask someone else. That if our gut is soft-spoken, we should second-guess it.

Your intuition doesn’t arrive in a hurry. It comes in silence.

It speaks in sensations. In chills. In subtle knowing. In the way your chest tightens when something isn’t right, or how your breath deepens when you finally make a choice that honours your truth.

It doesn’t need a microphone.
It needs space.

And sometimes, the only way to hear it is to slow down long enough for your body to catch up with your mind. Long enough to separate your voice from the noise around it.

You’re not lost when you can’t articulate it.

You’re not broken when the path isn’t clear yet.

You’re just learning to listen in a different way.

A quieter way.

And that quiet is a gift, not a flaw.

So give your intuition room to rise.

Don’t drown it in other people’s opinions.

Don’t silence it by doubting what you feel.

Don’t wait for it to become louder than your fear.

Sometimes, you’ll make a decision that makes no sense on paper but feels like peace.

That’s your inner voice doing its job.
Trust it.

Even when you don’t have all the answers.

Especially then.
