Lucas Jacques - The Light Within: A 12-Year-Old Author's Journey to Mindfulness
Send us a text
What does a 12-year-old author have to teach us about meditation, mindfulness, and discovering our inner light? The answer might surprise you.
Lucas Jacques joins us for a conversation that will leave you both inspired and humbled. At just 12 years old, Lucas has accomplished what many adults only dream of—authoring a powerful book called "The Light Within" that's packed with wisdom about connecting to your inner peace through mindfulness and friendship.
The journey began after a car accident when Lucas was just six years old. What started as a desire to write an "I Survived" story evolved into something much more profound as he grew and began practicing meditation around age eight. Now he uses various meditation techniques to manage emotions, improve sleep, and even connect with departed loved ones—practices he sometimes shares with close friends.
Far from being just a young person dabbling in writing, Lucas displays remarkable insight throughout our conversation. When asked what message he hopes readers take from his book, his answer is profoundly simple: "Never quit." He astutely observes that "more grown-ups quit than children do," and when discussing the inner light at the center of his book, he shares the beautiful wisdom that "Try not to find it, it will find you."
Lucas is already planning his next projects, including a book to help children overcome fear of dental visits and potentially continuing "The Light Within" as a series. His parting advice? "Always stay positive, and if you think positive, you'll always achieve what you need to achieve."
Listen to this episode, then share it with someone who needs a reminder that wisdom can come from unexpected sources, and that the light we're all searching for might already be searching for us.
