Four Words to Summarize this Episode: If Not Now? When?

It's so EASY to put things on the back burner and tell ourselves we will get to it later. These things are usually the hardest things to do, and also the things that will give us the most reward.

What is something you've been putting off that you will make yourself tackle this week? Drop me a line on Twitter or Instagram, @MrJacobEspi.

I had an amazing week! I started off being Baptized on Sunday at Outward Church in Salem. I'm super blessed, humble and grateful for the opportunities in my life right now.

I want to give back as much as possible!

Forum Friday is my favorite episodes each week. Thanks to everyone asking questions and giving me an opportunity to provide insight.

Send me your questions on Twitter, @MrJacobEspi. I'll pick a few of my favorites to answer in next week's episode.

Have a great weekend everyone!

When we make this our habit, we win.

I was in the middle of an already awkward performance when people in the audience started asking us to fight on stage. I'm still grateful to have been invited. I also learned that even when things go worse than expected we can use them as opportunities to continue getting better and as confidence boosts to take action even when we are afraid.

Learn to love new challenges!

I have no idea what I'm doing, and that is exciting for me!

Focusing on how far I still have to go is fuel for my fire. Being insecure about a new challenge is also part of the process of getting better.

Don't let it stop you. Keep going.

Let me know how your journey is going. I'm on Twitter and Instagram @MrJacobEspi.
