Work, laundry, grocery shop, sleep, repeat.
It was the sad pattern that my life had begun to take. It wasn’t a bad life, but something was missing. As I trudged through each monotonous moment of my day, I felt a little empty.
I wanted to pursue some things I was passionate about. But I didn’t know how, so I never started. The rut I had created was safer, so I just stayed there.
Then I was introduced to the message of Jon Acuff. His book Quitter gave me hope when I needed it most. At a time when I was merely going through the motions of life, that book reminded me that I have goals and dreams that I don’t just want, but need to pursue.
His new book, Start, is no different. This book challenges the reader to be awesome. To pursue the things that matter. To not settle with mediocre.
I felt stuck before. I knew I had passions and dreams, but I didn’t know how to even begin. Start encourages you to do just that. START. Do something. The awesome may not come right away, but with practice, it will show up.
I highly recommend this book to anyone. Filled with his trademark humor and wit, Jon shares practical tips on how to pursue a life that is more than average.
The book officially comes out next week, but if you pre-order this week, you can get a bunch of freebies. Click the link on the homepage for more information.
I was able to go to Start Night. It was awesome.
I watched it online and it was awesome. He’s even more awesomer in person.
