Overcoming the Fear of Change: The Importance of Self-Transformation w/ Graham Allen

No one is flawless at birth, but their aspirations and visions help them become such. It is imperative that we improve, not just for ourselves but also for the society that will one day serve as the home of the next generation. The society in which we live today was created by many amazing people with their extraordinary visions, hard effort, and sacrifice. Yet nothing endures forever. In the same manner that wolves emerge from their dens after a storm, it is up to us to fill the shoes of those great individuals and lead the path to change.

Graham Allen imparts his life's lessons, wisdom, and counsel to everyone listening today. Typically, the most important journey you will take in your life will be one of self-transformation. This is often the most frightening because it necessitates the most drastic changes in your life. Tune in as young leaders ask questions about life, personal growth, and more!

Quotes:

• “Joining the army is what transformed me. It’s where I learned the values that I still use to this day: discipline, responsibility to something bigger than yourself.” – Graham Allen
• “I was the kid that got nervous before I had to speak in front of the class. Because I just hadn't figured everything out yet.” – Graham Allen
• “It's important to talk about things because if you don't talk about it, you can't help.” – Graham Allen

Takeaways:

• Experience is the best teacher. Nothing will ever beat it in terms of educating people and assisting them in navigating life.  
• Overcoming fear is the easiest method to acquire confidence. More importantly, don't waste your time attempting to persuade others. Do your thing, and don't worry about whether others like it or not.
• We speak not only to communicate with others, but also to communicate with ourselves. Improper communication is always the source of misunderstandings so it is always best to talk it out and understand each other.

Conclusion:

Change of our ideas invariably results in transformation of our voice and deeds. We develop a new personality with a benign form of royalty based on purity. Our nature becomes serene. Where there was fear before, there will be self-confidence, and where there was vengeance, envy, or anger, there will be love and a desire to serve and help others. "Be good and do good" would become our life mantra. We would soar above body consciousness and settle into a higher and more holy degree of soul consciousness.
