From Fearful to Fierce Podcast: the roadmap to becoming the best version of yourself

Takeaways * Vulnerability is the key to overcoming fear and finding love. * Admitting and embracing our fears is the first step towards personal growth. * Our environment and the people we surround ourselves with influence our mindset and self-perception. * Self-love starts with vulnerability and accepting our flaws. * Vulnerability is a powerful tool for building meaningful connections and communication. * Living intentionally and taking small actions daily can transform us from fearful to fierce.

Socrates, the father of Greek philosophy, once said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." That quote, in a nutshell, is what this episode is all about. True evidence of a progressively transformed life is, therefore, deep self-introspection. The willingness to look at ourselves authentically in all its rawness (without the proverbial tinted lenses) brings clarity. Clarity develops gratitude. Gratitude itself is pointless if it does not imbue in you the willingness to want to use the transformation you are experiencing for the betterment of people other than yourself. The point here is that a journey of self-knowing gives you clarity; clarity births gratitude, and gratitude becomes the vehicle for acts of selfless service to humanity. Looking at it from such a lens, becoming the best version of yourself is not just a catchphrase you throw here and there but a movement that will ultimately make the world around you a better place and the lives of its inhabitants happier and worth living. Ito Driscoll has encapsulated this nicely in her with #fromfearfultofiercepodcast and why my podcast resonates so deeply with her. Thank you, Ito, for sharing your thoughts with my #viewers. Have you heard me say that becoming the best version of oneself is a process, not a destination? Well, a big part of your journey will be recognising that in order to become fully, you must be willing to give. Have a #FIERCE week.

What causes offence is never about what is said or how it is said; rather, it is about the aura behind the intent of what is said. Let me explain. Everything we say begins from the heart and our true intentions (the aura) behind that heart. Life is spiritual, and that spirit controls whatever the physical is doing. Let’s say, for example, that you are envious of someone’s achievement and you’ve succeeded in physically keeping your envy a secret; however, any action you take concerning that person will always be tainted by the aura of your envy. #fromfearfultofierce #theeyessayitall #thespiritsaysitall #liveintentionally

There’s no gain-saying the importance of a smile. Your smile is your best fashion statement and the most important wardrobe piece. Many of us do not understand our smile's absolute, indescribable power. A simple, honest, unstintingly-rendered smile can stop the most hard-hearted person in their track, alter the course of their negative attitude against you and work a decision in your favour. Furthermore, it can grant you entry into a space that would otherwise have been denied. If you don’t believe me, listen to my encounter with the power of a simple smile in #episode23 of #fromfearfultofiercepodcast. The amazing thing is that despite its huge benefits, a smile is absolutely free: it does not cost anything to smile and does not rob you of anything, either. If you truly want to become the best version of yourself, you need your smile. I can categorically say that you will never become the best version of yourself without using your smile. Trying to achieve such a feat would be similar to a surgeon going into his op room without a scalpel: with what will he do his cutting? #fromfearfultofierce, #healingtools #naturalhealingremedies #smileyourwaytosuccess #thepowerofasmile #healingyourself #mindbodyandsoul #liveintentionally
