Luvvie Ajayi Jones mentioned that the fear of challenging ourselves is a normal feeling. Still, if it happens continuously, it can delay us from doing things related to our initial purpose.
She admitted that it’s not even easy to pursue things that scare us.
Instead of fearing the same obstacles, we should be comfortable with the uncomfortable.
When she reached 30, she made a life-changing decision: she would do everything that scared her, not as a one-moment challenge, but she actively pursued it.
One thing that people often mistake is “being quiet is not comfortable,” with an excuse to let anyone take them for granted. But she answers that being quiet is comfortable, trying to keep things as it is. It’s a matter of perspective, actually. Which perspective are you going to accept?
We need to be able to take the FIRST HIT. Some things are even better than what we have been imagining. Sometimes we must pull our feet from the brakes we created for ourselves.
Our fear might seem like a safe bet, but some of them are only for a short-term period.
Her three core values are honesty, integrity, and justice. And here’s the last quote she said to close her talk, “Telling the truth shouldn’t be a revolutionary act because bridges that aren’t based on fact will collapse.
“Let your voice be heard. Don’t be scared to be uncomfortable.”
