AIESEC in India
AIESEC in India

The document discusses overcoming inner voices of judgment, cynicism, and fear that can hold one back from embracing change and growth. It advocates developing awareness of these voices, having courage to face them without backing down, and showing compassion for both oneself and one's fears. Facing these internal challenges wholeheartedly and engaging them honorably is more important than winning or losing. Distinguishing when to engage voices and when to let go is part of developing wisdom over time.

Open MINDHEARTWILL
enhance self-awareness on what might be holding you back NO QUICK FIXES NO BULLSH*T NO GIVEN SOLUTIONS
“ Implementing change continues to challenge our leadership capacity. WHAT WILL IT MEAN TO LEARN HOW TO BE LEADERS OF ECOSYSTEMS INSTEAD OF EGOSYSTEMS?
Our capacity to move from where we are to where we want to be is what counts! Open MINDHEARTWILL
A major change are taking place in AIESEC right now!
WE ARE PRESENTED WITH HUGE CHALLENGES Change have been decided from outside of our circle of influence. Its immediate purpose seems to be the attainment of AIESEC 2015; its longer range purpose seems unclear. Rationale for the change seem partially subjective. Training and concise information is limited. Timelines are extremely challenging. The expected results seem to depend on pure faith. No one is fully comfortable with the process.
Wisdom TO SEE THE DIFFERENCES
Wisdom is rare and cherished because it comes from a place not normally accessed by most people in day-to-day living. WHAT STOPS THE AVERAGE PERSON FROM BEING A TRULY WISE AND INSIGHTFUL PERSON? WHAT IS IT ABOUT WISDOM THAT MAKES IT SO HARD TO COME BY?
To access true wisdom, insight, and guidance one must navigate past three voices on the journey that are the path way to deep listening. DEEPLISTENING
“That’s a stupid idea.” “Who do you/they think you/they are?” “Play it safe.” “Keep things the way you know them.” Most of us are very familiar with this voice . VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING
Whenever I become judgmental it is a sign that something within me is amiss, something I need to hear, reconnect with and accept. As we judge one another, we will live into and function from the worst in each other, not the best. VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING
When I can moderate the voice of judgment, I can begin to believe in the group/process and expect the best from both them/it and myself. Mutual trust and communication give both the group/process and me a way to enter into that space of wisdom and deep listening. VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING
OPENMIND THE CAPACITY TO SUSPEND HABITUAL JUDGMENT VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING
What are some automatic judgments I am making concerning the changes we are currently living in AIESEC? SHARE WITH A PARTNER WHATEVER COMES TO YOUR MIND KEEP ASKING EACH OTHER THAT QUESTION UNTIL THE ANSWERS STOP COMING
“Oh no, we already tried that before and we got hurt, remember? We ain’t going there again.” “You can’t trust anyone.” “It’s better to hurt others before they hurt you.” “It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there.” This voice keeps you separate, alone, and bitter. DEEPLISTENING VOICEOFJUDGMENT VOICEOFCYNICISM
This is the voice that keeps you “safely” separate from others and the world, putting everything and everyone at “safe distance.” This voice is afraid to be vulnerable and sees vulnerability as a direct threat to survival. VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING VOICEOFCYNICISM
For often understandable reasons, AIESEC leaders feel the need to distance themselves emotionally as way of self-protection. But in doing so, they cause great damage to themselves and to the organization. VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING VOICEOFCYNICISM
OPENHEART THE CAPACITY TO REDIRECT MY PERSPECTIVE FROM MY VIEWPOINT TO SOMEONE ELSE'S VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING VOICEOFCYNICISM
In what ways am I being cynical keeping challenges & challengers at arms distance, staying “safe,” separate and alone? SHARE WITH A PARTNER WHATEVER COMES TO YOUR MIND KEEP ASKING EACH OTHER THAT QUESTION UNTIL THE ANSWERS STOP COMING
“I’ll be inadequate and will not find a way DEEPLISTENING to step up.” “I’ll be rejected and ridiculed.” “I’ll be all alone.” All of your deepest fears can become activated. VOICEOFJUDGMENT VOICEOFCYNICISM VOICEOFFEAR
This voice strives to maintain the status quo and holds onto what you already have and know. This is the ultimate voice at the gate that goes right to your core animalistic instincts for survival. VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING VOICEOFCYNICISM VOICEOFFEAR
FEAR SPEAKS IN MANY VOICES Fear of losing, fear of being ostracized, fear of ridicule, fear of looking bad to others or to our leaders, and especially, fear of failure and being inadequate. VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING VOICEOFCYNICISM VOICEOFFEAR
Fear is so fundamental to the human condition that all the great spiritual traditions originate in an effort to overcome its effects on our lives. With different words, they all proclaim the same core message: ‘Be not afraid.’. . . Be not afraid does not say that we should not have fears . . .(but) that we do not need to be our fears.

What personal key fears are stopping me from fully embracing this change process while being who I truly am & doing what I came here to do? SHARE WITH A PARTNER WHATEVER COMES TO YOUR MIND KEEP ASKING EACH OTHER THAT QUESTION UNTIL THE ANSWERS STOP COMING
I bet you can recognize each of these three voices in you. I’m sure you’ve done battle with each of them at some point in your life. DID YOU WIN? OR DID THEY WIN? VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING VOICEOFCYNICISM VOICEOFFEAR
Whether you win or lose is not so much the point. BUT DID YOU ENGAGE WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND HONORABLY? VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING VOICEOFCYNICISM VOICEOFFEAR
These “battles” are only with ourselves. awareness Ÿ courage Ÿ compassion VOICEOFJUDGMENT DEEPLISTENING VOICEOFCYNICISM VOICEOFFEAR
Wisdom DISTINGUISHING WHEN TO ENGAGE AND WHEN TO LET GO IS PART OF THE WISDOM YOU CAN DEVELOP OVER TIME
1. Be aware that these voices will always be on your path. That’s half the battle itself! 2. Have the courage to face them and engage them. Don’t back down; how you engage is more important than winning. 3. Have compassion for not only yourself, but have compassion for these aspects of yourself; have compassion for these voices. 4. These voices are far more afraid than your conscious Self is – step up and show them the way out of their suffering and smallness. QUICKSUMMARY
…perhaps all dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us. Rainer M. Rilke “
Q4 HAS BEEN ALWAYS THE SAME IN THE LAST 4 YEARS This is the moment in which I am better prepared to give my best. What do I need to give to it my all? FINISHINGSTRONG
