Be Awesome: How to Live Your Best Life

"You know how every once in a while you do something and a little voice inside says, "There. That's it. That's why you're here."…and you get a warm glow in your heart because you know it's true? Do more of that." -Jacob Nordby

I'VE WORKED A LOT OF JOBS. I've worked outside. In cubicles. In offices. At home. From my car. On a river. At a university. In schools. In kennels. In medicine. In food. In the woods. Behind a camera. With children. With senior citizens. In academia. And for world class jerks. I've been bored beyond belief. I've been exhausted from extremely long commutes. I've watched the excruciatingly slow minutes tick on the clock, knowing I had to put in my time and keep my derriere in my seat until the end of the scheduled day (even though there wasn't a lick of work in sight). I've cleaned urinals. I've picked through trash. I've scrubbed gates and floors on my hands and knees using a toothbrush.

On the flip side, I've found what I love. It was with me all along. The difference was, I finally opened my eyes and took notice. I didn't change anything about who I was, or am. I just let myself (finally) be that person; and that's when everything began to take shape. I'm here to help you find what you love to do and to encourage you to begin (or continue) your journey to your best life. Whether you're nineteen or eighty-five, it's never too late to start living a life you love. You're awesome, so be awesome. Small tweaks and everyday attitudes and actions make a big difference. Discover how to live your best life by utilizing the gifts already inside of you.
