Be Extraordinary

"I now know I can stand on my own two feet, trust my intuition and trust my intelligence"

When I first run into this course I was studying for my university exams in January and felt stuck. I was so sick of doing things just because "you have to". The only thing I could think about all the time was “ Why the hell am I letting society’s voices be louder than my own preventing me from being the person I want? Why am I not focusing full time on the things that are truly important for me?” Deep down inside I knew what I wanted to do since October but I couldn’t find the courage to take a baby step forward. I went on living a double life: the one that I felt deep down in my bones and I was thinking about all the time and the one I was supposed to live instead, or at least I felt that way. 

I accidentally run into “Be Extraordinary” Masterclass and In one of the related video at one point Vishen was sharing his story and said something that sparked me up: ” the problem was I wanted a sense of meaning sooner” and he talked about how BRULES can keep us stuck and are all questionable. I felt that way too. So I thought: ”You know what Vishen? I’m with you, I’ll join your quest. I felt I had just made one of the best decisions of all my life and guess what?! I was right! At the end of the program, I felt so proud of myself to have had the courage to just set time aside and play full out on this quest. I felt so grateful and thankful to have taken a step forward to live the life I want to live. Now I decided to take the best risk of my life from now since forever: “BE THE PERSON I AM, CREATING THE PERSON I KNOW I CAN BE, DO THE THINGS I WANT TO DO by taking care of one most important thing: my ROSE! I now know I can stand on my own two feet, trust my intuition and trust my intelligence because I KNOW I AM ENOUGH. Also, it helped me reframe the idea of failure: since I was a kid I thought that making mistakes was bad and If I did I would fail as a person, but now I realized that as long as I’m committed in listening to myself, being who I am and having the impact I want in the world I won’t ever fail. I will make mistakes for sure, but that’s part of the journey. So thank you Vishen for your quest, thank you Mindvalley, thank you Be Extraordinary community and thank you AIESEC because among other things you made me get to know Mindvalley. So I’ll be who I am, do the things that I want and if you judge me I don’t care because I’M UNFUCKWITHABLE.!
