Be a Spokesperson 😬

Hello my dear readers as I hope you are enjoying a beautiful day wherever you are today. As always, I thank you for the support and hope all are doing well. You will see UW below sporting yet another famous tee back in the day. I had used a photo of someone in the crowd holding it up but never a shot of him wearing that retro orange one so I found it in magazine I have. He was a spokesman for the WWF back then among a few other products but are you? I’m not talking about like one of those games show models of the day but more like an advocate. It might be part of your job but you can also do much on your own if so choosing. As parents, we will always be spokespeople for our kids until they are old enough to speak for themselves. Maybe you are an animal parent as that works here too, as they can’t actually ever speak for themselves~~~ at least not in the human way!

Warrior definitely became his own spokesperson for himself over the years, didn’t he? Even if you did not agree with many of his choices, he certainly fought hard to defend his views in ways he saw fit. I have two become a spokesWOMAN for him in many of my writings and now speaking with “ The Ultimate Truth” podcast episodes. I honestly had no idea on where my little email would take me. I just thought it would be an episode or brief segment. When I got asked to co-host, I was floored! Still am today. It’s a perfect title because it is indeed truth we are telling since Warrior isn’t here anymore to share the real stories. Somebody has to then, right? It’s me and others who genuinely care enough to bring viewers different takes on subjects folks may not know much about.

So, who or what are you a spokesperson for and why? You will need to know your reasons but perhaps it won’t be made clear until later on and that’s OK. You’ll find out as you go along. You don’t have to be on the front lines as Warrior always wanted to recognize those behind the scenes as that counts too. It can be little things that start even within your own family and then your community, city, state, and country. Just by giving others a voice means something~~~ believe that. You don’t have to run around like Ultimate Warrior did at all but merely plan your next move in a way that will win the match, however it looks for you or what you speak out for.

I bet there are plenty of you out there being spokespeople in ways you may not even realize. Sometimes it takes others to point out actions we are involved in when we might overlook the importance of what we do. I had a guy recently comment on one of the segments complementing my knowledge of wrestling. Well, that was very nice to read while knowing others have way more than I do. My knowledge of Warrior related topics is far more immense but I do appreciate him “roping” me in with this still very much a times male dominated business. I speak on Warrior’s behalf and I’m humbled to do it. You won’t hear trash for me but I do realize there is ugly as well. I give respect but will also deliver the messages in an honest format with compassion. I try to see new perspectives as I’m also fully entitled to my own, just like you.

You can take this in another way as well. Are any of you spokespeople or advocates for elderly parents, maybe a caregiver? I know a few who are as that is using your voice to speak up for someone who possibly cannot anymore because of a health situation where they become incapacitated. You are the one for them and their behalf when it might be difficult at a certain stage of their life any longer. Speaking for anything can be super challenging, especially when we may not necessarily volunteer but find ourselves “elected” in a position where we are the only one available. My heart goes out to any who find themselves burdened, simply because they want or need to help another.

We all need to be those spokes people the best we can because it’s part of our mission here as humans on this earth. Again, it doesn’t need to be something huge or even elaborate but perhaps you even saved a bug! Remember that time I found a ladybug 🐞 on my ankle and almost squashed it thinking it was another yucky insect? OK, not exactly being a spokesperson for the ladybug creatures but nonetheless, I saved its life and have done that before for others. Let’s not forget the most important thing here, though my readers. The one who needs the most advocate and needs a voice to speak the loudest is YOU. That’s right, you. If you are not, who will? Do not let others do for what you can on your own. We all can and should. Warrior did as fans know.

He spoke when others disagreed or even worse. He defended when naysayers said no way. He advocated when the business or society deemed certain approaches unacceptable. Can you say you do the same? I try in many regards but don’t always show up fully with my battle gear to every match. We will not win them all but at least give it our all every day. If not, try again tomorrow as we always get more chances. The Universe knows as we are allowed to make mistakes and will many times over. It’s how you battle back that matters. Sometimes we have to admit defeat or get that DQ for various reasons. You will know when your energy is well spent and when it is not. It’s always a choice like I say for myself so perhaps the next time, I choose another warrior way.

I wish you all good choices when deciding on what kind of spokesperson you will be and for who? What? How long? All questions worth your time as they are for me too. Fight for those causes you truly believe in with your whole heart and maybe, just maybe you will inspire others to do the same. Just don’t get on a game show with products as that’s not what I mean here. No need to be over the top rope but just do your part and feel good about yourself. It’s a great feeling spreading messages that uplift another, especially when they are unable to do so themselves. I will be a spokeswoman for Warrior as long as I can or feel the need. He deserves the good to be recognized, we all do…

P.S. You can absolutely be a spokesperson for products that will benefit another. Plus, I was always a fan of game shows, for real! 😆
