F.A.C.E
My values used to be Double A.C.E. Lately I think it should be F.A.C.E instead.
F for fearless.
I find that if I leave my (and other peoples’) neurosis behind, I can do many things. This stupid fear has stopped me from doing many things - saying what I truly feel, running in the day, making cold calls and even talking to ignorant fools in the workplace. I know I am better than them, but I still fear repercussions. I guess, this is something that was beaten into me when I was young. Gotta beat this fear out of me.
My coach said this:
“ … the biggest thing is fear,” she says. “Fear that they won’t succeed, fear people will laugh at them, fear things won’t go as planned. However, trying to deny your passions will just hollow you out on the inside … Whatever your concerns may be, deal with them through a proper plan, rather than avoid them altogether. Avoidance doesn’t solve anything, but action does. Ultimately, it is through pursuing our passions that we live our best life.”
A.C.E remains the same. Authenticity (strangely the most difficult to live true to ), Clarity (Strangely the easiest) and Excellence (I still don’t really know what to do with this).
