Happy New Month!
Welcome to this very first edition of "What-If" Mornings with Dr. Yinka Dixon, where we pause to reflect, realign, and renew.
One voice. One thought. One shift at a time.
TODAY'S TOPIC IS:
When Hearts Raise Their Voices:
What if anger wasn’t about volume, but about distance?
What if anger wasn’t about volume but about distance?
There is a certain and measured, many times, deliberate distance that anger creates.
It’s a New Month… But Let's Be Honest.
Sometimes, we enter a new month carrying the noise from the last one. Words shouted. Painful silences. Or even cruel whispers that sounded louder than thunder in our hearts.
Do you know what I read recently?
I read somewhere, that when people are angry, they shout, increasingly louder, not because the other person is far away, but because the anger creates the distance.
They are trying to “bridge” a gap with noise. But isn’t it strange? The louder the voice, the wider the space between hearts.
It reminds me of those moments when someone tells a lie about you.
That one lie that slices through your reputation or mocks your pain.
Even if you don’t shout back, it echoes in your soul. That is distance. Emotional, invisible distance, but very real.
What If… We Paused Before Raising Our Voice?
What If... shouting in anger is really a cry for connection we’ve lost?
What If... we replaced the rising pitch with rising self-awareness?
This isn’t some pretty quote from a fridge magnet. It is hard stuff..., specially when you’ve been hurt.
"Let love lead" sounds like a nice hashtag… until betrayal, heartbreak, or disappointment shows up.
But here’s a thought: What if love wasn’t a feeling to "fall into," but a decision to grow into?
Hugs Over Volume.
Grace Over Grudges.
The image I’m sharing with this article shows a couple embracing. No words. No shouts. Just closeness.
It is not weakness. It is wisdom. It is the kind of strength that says, “I won’t let my voice destroy what my heart was trying to build.”
This new month, maybe the most powerful thing you can do, is, not to respond loudly - but to respond lovingly.
Maybe the real victory isn’t proving you were right, but preserving what matters.
Maybe the real question is not “Why are you shouting?” but “What are you scared of losing?”
Let’s choose connection over combustion. Even when it’s hard.
Let this new month be softer. Quieter. Stronger.
Let love lead. Even when you have every reason not to. Especially that time, when the reasons for distance are plenty and in abundance.
Happy New Month, dear friends. 🧡
Until next month. Or whenever my heart has a love-note to share. ❣️💕
Keep on Believing. Keep on Building.
You are not Behind. You are Becoming.
Keep Hope Alive.
