“When did we stop living life and start letting life happen to us?”

What kind of crazy person asks that question? The kind of person that wants you to step out of the box of your comfortable life and starting doing something to change the situation you’re in, that’s who.
His name is Ken Davis and I want to slap him for writing the book Fully Alive: Lighten Up and Live – A Journey that Will Change Your LIfe. First, I want to hit him for causing me to stay up late because I couldn’t put the book down. Second, I couldn’t read it without being convicted. I took a gazillion notes and could probably go back for more.

I don’t really want to hit him. (Okay, maybe a little.) Seriously though, this book couldn’t have come along at a better time in my life. I’m honored to have this book in my hands. Davis’ words have caused me to open my eyes a little wider and reevaluate the situations I’m in. I’m learning to really live fully alive versus just accepting life. 
Here are some things you can expect to learn from this book:

• There are benefits to pain
• Being alive is a matter of attitude
• Launching your dreams vs. burying them
• Standing helpless vs. taking action
• You’ve got moss growing on your butt (That chapter alone is worth the price of the book)
• Stop making excuses
• Persistence pays off
• Pushing yourself vs. punishing yourself
• Guilt sucks
• Lighten up
• It’s time to take risks

That was more than a few I know.
In the book, Ken Davis talks about his pit of depression. You wouldn’t think for being a comedian depression would be his thing, but it certainly was. You’ll learn how he climbed out of that pit, how he got off the couch and started getting healthy, and how he’s really living fully alive.
Oh, and he talks about the most important thing as well, faith. We’re in big trouble without it.

“Faith is taking the risk to put your life on the line for what you say you believe.”

I encourage you to read the book. Read through it slowly. Stop and absorb what he’s speaking to you. I don’t believe anyone can read the book and not get a message from it, no matter where you are in life.
Thank you Ken Davis for your willingness to share, for your passion to change lives, and for adding laughter to the messiest of situations.
