A couple weeks ago I mentioned I read the book “Worthy” by Jamie Kern Lima and the book was launched with a 12 hour long live stream of amazing and empowering speakers. One of them was Jim Kwik, who wrote a book called “Limitless”. If you have the time and want to be inspired, google Jim Kwik and listen to one of his talks. He had a brain injury when he was in kindergarten (because another kid kicked the chair he was standing on out from under him) and he thought he was stupid most of his life. He was doing horribly in college and was going to drop out and his friend invited him to meet his dad, who told him “don’t let your education get in the way of your learning” and introduced him to biographies of some of the most powerful people in history, most of whom overcame incredible odds to accomplish what they did. Shortly thereafter, he discovered the way he learns best, and it isn’t via the methods that are typically taught in school, and life was never the same.
