I knew this story was special as soon as I told it, back in the summer of 2010, but it’s taken me a while to record it. I love Jim’s dilemma, he has this huge urge to buy the outrageously colourful coat he’s just found, even though he can’t possibly see himself ever wearing it. Then he absolutely has to wear it, even though he’s dying of embarrasment to think of anyone spotting him in it. And one thing leads to the next…
I’m reminded of the many times when I’ve felt a strong impulse to follow my heart, even though I know that doing so will make me look a fool, even if only to myself. It’s by taking these kinds of leaps of faith that we can live into our full potential, which is what this story is really about.
