Getting Over the FFT The F*ck Yeah Life
-
- Entrepreneurship
The f*****g first time, as coined by Brene Brown, is the discomfort and awkwardness of doing something the first time. What sucks is that we’re taught, especially as women, that we’re expected to do everything with mastery and perfection the first time - without ever having tried it. But, these FFTs are part of life, especially if we’re going to things differently.
What is a fuck yeah life? It’s a life that you fantasize about, that looks very different from the one you have now.
A little over a year ago, I quit my 25-year career in the arts and started my new life. I had been successful by many societal measures, but I was miserable. I was getting more physically ill by the day. So, I cashed in my assets and went out on my own. I couldn’t find anyone to help me figure out how to do it, so I created it myself.
Here are the major principles of the Fuck Yeah Living. If it isn’t a full “fuck yeah,” it’s a “hell no!”
Be yourself. Let yourself rest. We can’t make good life decisions from a place of crisis.Learn to listen to you.Find your purpose and what lights you the fuck up.Do you for you. Be ambitious for yourself.A F**k Yeah life isn’t a destination; it’s a mindset, an action, and a commitment to yourself.Check your expectations. They cause you suffering.Learn to distinguish your thoughts and beliefs from facts.Find the frame that works the best for you and moves you forward.
Live and believe in your Fuck Yeah self. We all deserve to live a life in which we feel agency and purpose and joy. It’ll take a lot of work on ourselves but it’s completely worth it.
