Being Fearless Fun

by urbanpixie on 19 April 2008

I promised to Pixie-post on Omega’s Being Fearless conference I attended last weekend. While it’s taken me a good six days to recover from this incredibly intense event, I’m ready to recap at long last. I want to impart the wisdom, teacher by amazing teacher, to you. So here’s a few of my favorite nuggets:

Andrew Harvey:

  • Figure out what current cause breaks your heart, as it’s the door to an authentic life. Then, with that in mind, ask yourself, every day, “Am I doing everything I can?”
  • See Stop-Loss, a true tribute to our current soldiers’ story & a clear call to action
  • The mess of the world we’re in now is the “perfect storm;” if we leverage all the power we have to destroy it towards saving our Earth instead, it’ll be incredible
  • Be love in action

Iyanla Vanzant:

  • Go still & be within everyday
  • Don’t let mediocre human challenges keep you from living your truth & doing your work
  • Re-frame each “crisis” as a chance to say, “I can’t wait to see how this gets resolved!”
  • When others hurt you, go ahead & feel the pain, go crazy but then get your ass to work
  • Tell yourself the absolute truth about where you are & what you’re willing to do
  • Say “YES” to where you are & work from there

Debbie Ford:

  • Your shadow side is a gift; use it or it’ll use you
  • We are here for the evolution of our soul
  • DENIAL = don’t even notice I am lying
  • Embrace your “dark” qualities for what they have given you because they have served you in some respect

Carolyn Myss:

  • Be everything your soul tells you to that your mind makes excuses not to be
  • Practice reverence & humility
  • Reason cannot take us any further
  • Suffering stems from our betrayal of our own intuition
  • Forgiveness is your first mystical act
  • Everything you do counts

Zev Kadem:

  • Practice conscious kindness every day

Anne Lamott:

  • Do less every day
  • Let yourself be big & juicy
  • Be vulnerable
  • Agree to start something you’re terrified of now & get it on the calendar
  • It’s ok to not know what you’re doing
  • Courage is being willing to see the truth
  • Carry a pen
  • Nap more

Sprinkle them, share them, but most of all use them to start re-shaping our world. If I learned one thing, tis this: none of us can afford to do nothing another day.
