Failure may be the very reason for our success…

What hindsight (and 43 years of regular failure!) has taught me, is that often the very things that feel like a failure turn out to be the very reason for our success.

— Jake Humphrey (English TV presenter, best known for hosting Champions League and Premier League football of BT Sport, CBBC’s Bamzooki, and BBC sport’s coverage of Formula 1 Grand Prix. He is the co-founder and Director of Whisper Group and Host at The High Performance Podcast. He was also the youngest ever host of the football shows Football Focus)  

After watching Top Gun: Maverick (loooooved it!!) I was inspired to look up Val Kilmer (very touching scene in the movie) and his career trajectory. I’ve always thought of him as an incredible and intriguing actor (think Willow, The Doors, Thunderheart, True Romance, Tombstone, Heat, The Salton Sea, Wonderland, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Deja Vu). I was surprised to see the lack of recognition for his body of work, and he recently said it bothered him when he was younger. It goes to show you, we don’t always get the kudo’s we deserve (I’m grappling with some of this myself). Maybe the big recognition needs to come from within. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
