Part 6/17:
Jacobson firmly states: "The greatest risk is taking no risk." Avoiding all danger to stay in comfort may seem safe, but it leads to stagnation and unfulfilled potential. He recounts a story of a friend who was terrified to jump into a pool but was pushed in by a friend, which ultimately helped him overcome his fear. His lesson: growth often involves discomfort, and avoiding change only prolongs suffering.
He encourages embracing vulnerability, understanding that all transformation involves a "void" or "vacuum" where one sheds old layers to emerge renewed. Creativity, innovation, and growth often follow this turbulent transition, akin to the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly.
