Be Willing to Be Real : An Invitation to Choose Authenticity over Perfection
Who Are You, Really? Excerpt read from Tools of Titans by Timothy Ferriss — profile: Glenn Beck.
In this post, I read a fierce, honest passage from Timothy Ferriss’s Tools of Titans — a profile of Glenn Beck — about what it takes to show up: fully human, imperfect, and true. Glenn, a high-profile media host and founder of TheBlaze, has spoken openly about transformation — as the bio notes, he “hit rock bottom as an alcoholic in his 30s and restarted his life.” That courage to admit mistakes and to choose authenticity over polished perfection is the heart of today’s reading.
After the excerpt I offer a short reflection and a few gentle invitations you can use to practice small, soulful acts of truth in everyday life. This episode is for anyone who’s tired of pretending, curious about courage practiced in tiny steps, or ready to give themselves permission to be seen. Bring your breath, your tenderness, and a willingness to be absolutely real.
