I'm Possible: Jumping into Fear and Discovering a Life of Purpose

by Jeremy Cowart

Overview

You have potential, even if it’s hidden. You have talent, even if you’re afraid to use it. Your dreams just might change the world if you only believe the truth: I’m possible.

Internationally known celebrity photographer and philanthropist Jeremy Cowart shares his powerful story of transcending the traditional, following his ideas into a life lived in the fullness of possibility.

Jeremy started out as a failure.

Growing up, his life was defined by the words I can’t do it. Consistently bringing home poor grades, he felt overcome with the feeling that he just wasn’t good enough. His parents refused to allow him to be crushed by his lack of self-confidence and reprogrammed his mind with a single sentence: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Armed with that verse, Jeremy began to truly pursue his ideas, no matter how impossible they seemed. From becoming an award-winning celebrity photographer and visual artist to a philanthropist dedicated to investing dignity and value in people from underserved communities, now Jeremy firmly believes “I’m Possible.”

This book is perfect for those seeking to:

• Appreciate your own unique talents and potential contributions to the world
• Speak your dreams aloud and take the first steps towards making them real
• Overcome feelings of fear and anxiety to discover your true purpose
• Build a fulfilling life you love

In I’m Possible, Jeremy shares how he found inspiration in frustration, failed forward, and ultimately discovered his true purpose. It’s a book that will inspire readers with the message that all things are possible when we engage our God-given purpose to change the world.
