Free expression is seen as a big part of society today. Without free expression no one could be unique with what they believe in. We would be in a boring esk society with no room to innovate and create new opportunities.
Here are the eight values of free expression
Marketplace of Ideas
Participation in Self Government
Stable Change
Individual Self Fulfillment
Check on Governmental Power
Promote Tolerance
Promote Innovation
Promote Dissent
These eight values of expression impact people's lives on a daily basis. I believe the biggest one for an individual to have and pursue daily is individual self-fulfillment. Self-Fulfilment is a combination of hopes and dreams we have in our lives as well as taking action to make them a reality.
Everyone has freedom of speech thanks to the First Amendment. One of the big ideas is that individuals have freedom of speech, but most are not self-fulfilled. A motivational speech by Les Brown on self-fulfilment talks about how everyone has more to give with positive changes in their life, it's just a matter of having the mental fortitude to suffer sometimes when going through good change. It doesn't matter who you are, where you are, what you are doing at this very moment, life is about growing. You gotta ask yourself, what is it that I need to do to improve in areas of my life. Don’t get confused with what you are doing with who you are. During the self-fulfillment journey you have got to treat triumph and disaster the same because no one is perfect and there will be hiccups in your journey. As Les Brown says, “You can not just embark on a life changing journey by yourself, you gotta develop an appreciation for external support when changing.”
However, numerous people go through life pre-judging things. An example would be skydiving, if you have not sky dived you might be missing out on something. You do not know what the possibilities are of skydiving until you do it, you might absolutely love it. Having a closed mind can drastically impact change in a negative way. You will be unable to open your eyes on new inroads to solving a problem. We have all had ideas that we did not act on and what do you know, someone else acts on the idea and gets the positive result. That’s why self confidence is huge with change.
Les Brown also goes over charastics of the people who are self-fulfilled
They make their mind a fertile ground for the seed of opportunity. (Got to have an open mind if you want a sense of self-fulfillment)
They become involved in life.
They live your fantasy without making life predictable. Most people do not.
They challenge their fears, looking those fears in the face and taking them on.
I greatly found his speech motivational and impactful and would suggest it to individuals who struggle with living a self-fulfilled life.
