The Power of Values: My Journey of Resilience and Transformation
Today, I am sharing a pivotal moment in my life, a moment that challenged everything I thought I knew about success and goal setting.
In 2010, my life was on an upward trajectory: I excelled in my career and was recognised as an expert in my industry, making a positive impact. Little did I know, in a matter of minutes, my world as I knew it would flip its head upside down.
A shattered arm led me to St. Vincent’s Hospital, where a shocking diagnosis of aggressive bone cancer awaited me. The next 18 months became a gruelling battle as I fought against relentless cells attacking my body.
Amidst the physical and emotional turmoil, I sought solace in counselling sessions with Emma. Amongst all my conversations with Emma, one left a profound impact. Emma said: “Nina, you are extremely goal-oriented, and until now, that is how you have lived your life.”
She was right. I was an extremely goal-oriented person. Yet I couldn’t even grab a coffee with a friend during my health battle.
With Emma’s help, I realised that there was something even more powerful that could guide me through my darkest of days – my values. Emma introduced me to a list of values that I still have today. I chose my top 10 values from the list, and she said: “Your values don’t change. You can live by your values even when you can’t get out of bed, can’t eat, can’t walk, and you’re too sick to talk. You can still identify and live by your values”.
Emma explained that if goals are considered the big race, values are the source of power, barracking on the sidelines and pushing you forward.
With Emma’s guidance, I discovered that living in alignment with my values would become my source of strength and resilience.
