Professional Troublemaker: The Fear-Fighter Manual by Luvvie Ajayi Jones

funny hopeful inspiring reflective

5.0

I've been anticipating this book by Luvvie Ajayi Jones ever since I read her first book, I'm Judging You, in 2016. Before I even knew the title or topic, it was going to be an auto read. 

Well, it's here and it's SO good. 

The best thing I can do is share a few of the endless gems Luvvie drops and if they resonate with you, get the book. 

💎 Oftentimes, when we want something that doesn't come with a manual, we are afraid of it, because we could lose our way since there's no map. Well, maybe WE are supposed to draw the map, so someone who comes behind us won't get lost. Create the map you didn't have. 

💎 If you are not the truth teller in the room, you can at least be backup for them. If you aren't going to be the first domino, be the second. 

💎 Yes, we're afraid of the worst-case scenario happening, but what if the best-case scenario happens? What if we change systems in the rooms that we're in or we change people we come across because we dare to be people who decided to show up and use our necessary voices? 
 

💎 I wonder what would happen if we were given the permission to constantly ask for more, from life and the universe, from relationships, from bosses and colleagues. What might happen when we realize that NO won't kill us but YES could change our lives?
