"Everyone here, everyone on this earth has a light that's buried inside of them. And it's our goal to get back to that child that we once were, that had goals, dreams, aspirations before the world destroyed our our vision, and put that fear of failure on us."
– Jacob Brown, Transformational Speaker
In this edition of 'Iron Sharpens Iron', James highlights 3 life lessons from his interview with Jacob Brown.
Jacob’s platform is “fail forward.” It’s the concept that when you fail, you’re still learning and as long as you keep going, you’re making progress toward your goals or dreams.
But the truth is you won’t make progress if you let fear stop you from even trying. The fear of failure will keep you on the sidelines, keep you out of the game. You have to be willing to put yourself out there and risk being embarrassed, or failing.
When Jacob talked about the Golden Buddha, he makes a point that when you overcome self doubt and self-imposed limitations, that your story shows others what’s possible. It inspires to believe that maybe, “I can do it, too!”
That’s the connectedness of the human existence. Other people inspire us to try the thing that we don’t feel qualified for because we see the difficulty they had to go through; the resilience and perseverance and grit it took.
As the clay and the mud that conceals your God-given gifts starts to chip away you start to think differently, act differently, relate differently, believe differently.
