Listen "The time I REALLY embarrassed myself..."
Episode Synopsis
I don't want to embarrass myself. I'm pretty afraid of it actually. But in this story I embarrassed myself in a completely different way. As more of an introvert than extrovert, my wife can attest that getting me to do something too social, too out-there, is like trying to give a cat a bath. So over the years I've figured out the only way NOT to embarrass myself. But honestly, I don't like it much either.The only way NOT to embarrassment myself? Not try anything great. Not put myself out there. Not share my voice. Not create things. Not write books. Not speak on stage. Basically, hide. Because as you've maybe heard me say before, "The possibility for greatness and embarrassment both exist in the same space. If you're not willing to embarrass yourself, than you're not willing to do anything great." - 101 Secrets For Your TwentiesListen to me share my really embarrassing story and what it taught me about the importance of putting ourselves out there for others to see. And another perk of embarrassment, your embarrassing stories become YOUR BEST STORIES. My books are filled with embarrassing stories. I wouldn't have much to write about without all my failures. :) Sure, I don't really yearn to embarrass myself. Yet, I know the biggest risks we can take in our lives is not taking any risks at all. Listen to my embarrassing story about my lameness and what I learned from it. I don't want fear to call the shots of my life. I'd rather take that chance, take that risk, put myself in a very real place to embarrassment myself, than constantly wonder my whole life "what if?"
