When you go through life-altering experiences, you gain a different outlook in your life. In my case, such experiences turned me into a person who does not give a darn about anything – a badass attitude, I may say.
During a customer meeting, I had to bring up a sensitive subject to our customers. Everyone was expecting a brawl. I would be usually timid and anxious in this type of situation. But I did not care what everyone reacted to what I had to say today. I was calmly laying down the issues and what our solutions were. I knew that they would not like what I had to say, but I was sincere and firm about how we could tackle the issues. Instead of the ruckus, they took the bad news well and had a constructive discussion afterward.
Lesson learned. Be confident. Life is short. Don’t let anyone, including your inner voice, tell you what you can do and cannot do.
