Be a Forrest Gump: Refusing to Let Your Fears Stop You!!



September 27, 2023. Be a Forrest Gump: Refusing to Let Your Fears Stop You!!

In the movie Forrest Gump, the main character attempted all sorts of activities despite having an IQ of 75 (referenced in the movie). Quite possibly, his low IQ didn’t enable him to strategically think things through, but one could argue that is what has contributed to his success. He didn’t know what he didn’t know, and any fears of failure/success that someone with a strategic mind might consider didn’t weigh into Forrest’s decision making. He quite literally just moved forward. He also didn’t let negative feedback from others hinder what he wanted in life. Fear stops more people than any other barrier in life. Fear of failure? Fear of success? Learn what is REALLY stopping you.
