by Jordan Lee Dooley
In "Own Your Everyday," Jordan Lee Dooley emphasizes the importance of authenticity, self-acceptance, and divine purpose over societal expectations and comparisons. The book advocates for showing up as our true selves rather than striving to impress others, urging readers to embrace their unique contributions without the need for clarity or immediate understanding of their paths. Dooley highlights the necessity of cultivating a close relationship with God to discover true purpose, suggesting that impatience often leads to a loss of this connection. The author confronts the dangers of pride and insecurity, arguing that these mindsets can distort our perception of God and inhibit our growth. She encourages readers to break free from self-imposed limitations and recognize their inherent worth, emphasizing that health and fitness should be viewed as acts of self-care rather than measures of self-worth. Additionally, Dooley underscores the significance of community, urging individuals to seek help and support rather than attempting to navigate their journeys alone. Ultimately, the book conveys that purpose is not defined by public platforms but by the way we love and influence those around us. By prioritizing authenticity over comparison, readers can find freedom and fulfillment in their everyday lives.

Key Insights & Memorable Quotes
Below are the most popular and impactful highlights and quotes from Own Your Everyday: Overcome the Pressure to Prove and Show Up for What You're Made to Do:
Friend, try stuff before it makes sense, because it doesn’t need to all make sense in order for God to use it. He’s got this. He’s got you.
We long for clarity, but perhaps true purpose requires closeness with God. When I get impatient, however, I trade closeness for clarity, just when He’s daring me to press in and trust there’s a bigger plan.
You don’t scare me. I’m thankful for you because you will be a lesson that will shape me into who I’ll become.
We waste a lot of time building an image we want the world to see instead of taking responsibility for breaking through the limits we create in our own heads and becoming who we were made to be
To be truly free of an unhealthy mind-set and harmful behaviors, you have to look at fitness and health as part of your self-care, not part of your self-worth—and there is no shame in reaching out and asking for assistance to get there. Choose wisely. Open up and ask for help. You were not made to be a one-woman show.
There’s wisdom in planning.
