The State of My Life Addressed
As I sit down to write this to you, a major realization has just come to my consciousness: I have not left my house for more than two hours today. As I mentioned on Facebook, “Anytime i start feeling like i need a massage, i know it’s launch time!!”
Well my back is in knots and my brain is in bed because it’s been one hell of a loooooooooooong ass day. Last week I finished recording the audio version of Living On Purpose, and today I finished the video version. That being said, I wanna give you a little bit of insight as to what the video version is gonna look like. BUT, that’s not all.
I also wanna give you some insight into exactly where I am right now. After I shot this video, I played it back and was brought to (slight) tears. Maybe it’s because this day has been so damn long, but I think it’s because this is my life – and it’s real. It feels a bit like the Truman show, except I’m actually living the reality that you’re watching me talk about. It’s not “reality TV” – this is ACTUALLY happening. When the camera is off, it’s my life.
Anyway, Living On Purpose will be out next Tuesday. And Wednesday I head out to a weekend wedding in Hawaii where I’ll be spending the month. Here’s the conclusion to the video version of Living On Purpose:

Great video! It's tough to embrace the bad times and the good but it is necessary for one's own sanity.
My little south Jersey wedding this weekend seems pale in comparison to your Hawaii month long extravaganza–Have a blast! Soak up that Aloha spirit. ;-)
I am still trying to figure out finances too as I try to switch careers–it's the only reason I'm still teaching. Where in South East Asia are you thinking about maybe living? Sounds intriguing…-
Haha.. Thanx D! It starts with knowing what you want (even if its "anything but this"), and then calculating and reducing your expenses to make it happen! I'm sure you can do it!! SEA, not sure yet. All the typical places an american hears about – Bali, Thailand, etc…

Bali, Thailand, etc………Siggghhhhh. Need a roommate? hehe :-P

Hey there Jacob,
Loved watching & listening to this video, there is a certain peace in your voice & in your eyes in this particular one – wonderful to observe that.
I really appreciate the times when our paths connect, always a beneficial sharing experience for me. You are a very special person Jacob & I also feel honoured that I have met you on my journey.
I wish you every best wish for the launch next week & for whatever you create to come your way in life.
Enjoy Hawaii & your month away. Bless you & All good things to you. x-

Thanx dude! Exactly!! I was describing this period of my life as a game a basketball. I love playing ball. But sometimes, i play someone who's really good, and when the game gets hard, i just play harder. It doesn't mean i don't enjoy it, i just give it everything i've got. Talk soon dude!!

Hey Jacob,
What's going on man! I've ran across you several times on other's sites. Love the energy brother. I'm excited about getting to know you better and to network with you further. I listened to the vid in its entirety… and all I have to say is that I hope it takes off for you. I'm also very lucky to have won a copy of your new project Living on Purpose, through Steve Roy, an equally awesome dude. I also took the liberty of writing a post last night about the experience and gave you a mad shout out. Hope that was ok with you. I look forward to having a chat with you sometime soon… All the best to you mate.
Your friend in Atlanta

The very same questions are running through my mind! I'm asking myself if I'll be able to support myself full-time, all I know is that I'm loving every second of what I do….
