The Three Principles: Life's Playbook with Jacquie Forde
Most people consider life to be a battle, but it's not a battle. It's a game.
Ever felt like life is more of a struggle than it needs to be? Jacquie Forde, a seasoned coach and mentor, has a different take. In this episode of The Unashamedly Human Podcast, Jacquie unpacks the idea that life isn't a battle but a game to be played with joy and certainty. Drawing from her own childhood experiences, she recalls how she and her brothers would lose themselves in their imaginative play, embodying different characters with ease.
This playful approach, she argues, is how we should navigate our own lives. Jacquie introduces listeners to the Three Principles, a framework that can help anyone understand how life truly works. She likens these principles to the stagehands in a play—unseen but crucial to the performance. These stagehands support our experiences, making life feel less like a series of obstacles and more like an adventure.
One of Jacquie's favorite quotes comes from Sidney Banks: 'When seeking wisdom, one is very apt to find that in simplicity lies complexity'. This quote has been a guiding light for her, helping her to find peace and clarity in her own life. She encourages listeners to explore Banks' work, particularly his book The Missing Link, which she credits with deepening her understanding of what it means to be human. Jacquie's message is both hopeful and practical.
She believes that by embracing simplicity and understanding the roles we play in life, we can experience a more joyful and effortless existence. Tune in to hear her insights and perhaps find a new way to approach your own life's game.
