Clarity of values helps us shape our decisions in a way that gives us the life that we want. 1. Being clear about our values gets us going. It gives us a reason to be courageous in the first place, give us motivation and energy to do something. 2. Getting specific about how to live our values keeps us going. Make pre-decisions that work for you, that keep you in line with what you stand for. Even when you're tired, exhausted and prone to distraction. 3. Our values help us make the tough choices. When it's dark, you're face to face with fear, when it feels like you're a ship on a rough ocean on a dark night, your values serve as a lighthouse that gives you strength and guides your way. 4. Practicing our values makes us stronger. Living into our values is like a pushup. Every time we do it, we get stronger.
Being clear about the six-stage process of facing any fear gives you enormous awareness and can help you to move through fear 10x faster. "It doesn't matter how many fears you face—we all go through the same process over and over again." - Michele Poler
