Opinions reflect how we process information and reveal our preferences. They are the ‘story of why’ justifying our feelings and impacting our interactions.

They serve as valuable reference points for me — but not so much for everyone else. My opinions don’t matter outside of my own head.

Sharing an opinion, however, is an act of courage. It is my willingness to take a stand. It can be an invitation to join or a demand to separate. Opinions have the power to bring together and divide — both of which have their time and place.

Are you sharing your opinions as invitations or demands?
