The Spark ("Raise your words, not your voice")

quote

“Raise your words, not voice. It’s rain that grow flowers, not thunder” Rumi

The essence of these beautiful words lie in the power of gentle influence over authoritative command, the power of care over disrespect or disregard of other people’s feelings. But also, the power of well crafted arguments over the blind push of opinions without analysis.

Leading, influencing, impacting… isn't about raising one's voice to assert dominance; it's about shaping an environment where growth is nurtured, where we see others flourish.

By choosing words over volume, a person will exemplify the art of persuasion, empathy, and collaboration. Rumi's wisdom serves as a timeless reminder that true leadership lies not in force but in the ability to cultivate, inspire, and empower, much like nurturing rain on fertile soil.

“Lead yourself, Learn to live. Lead others, Learn to Build.”
