How to take an active role in your new life!

By Jay FloydPublished 6 years ago 3 min read

Do you struggle with taking control of your life and going in a positive direction? Do you feel like life is just “happening TO you?” Are you just going through the motions and not “fully engaged” in your own situations? Does life feel like you’re watching a movie instead of living it? In The Driver’s Seat, motivational speaker Jay Floyd keeps it 100 with you about how to get out of the backseat and start driving your life. A mentor and life coach, Jay explores how he made the journey from being a shy teen struggling with the deaths of his brother and parents to a confident leader of men. With steps laid out as plainly as Driver’s Ed, this book is an instruction guide for those ready to stop being passive and living assertively for God. In these pages you’ll be challenged to:

- View your life as a uniquely design “vehicle”

- Identify the seatbelts keeping you in the backseat

- Repair the roads of communication in your life

- Keep your “engine” running and healthy

- Avoid distractions that steer you away from your road

Your life is your God-given vehicle!

You can stay in the backseat as it careens all over the road or hop in the driver's seat and master the ride. If you feel like there has to be more to life and you want to fully engage with God’s will for your journey, this book is for you.

Chapter 5 of Jay's book, The Driver's Seat, talks about steering on THE JOURNEY.

Jay Floyd is a rising motivational speaker and life coach whose books are building blocks designed to show us how to begin living a bold and assertive life that pleases God.

His newest book "The Driver's Seat" is an instructional guide on how to get out of the backseat of our lives and take an active role in our journeys. Designed to help readers who find themselves not having much control over their situations and not quite living in their purpose to make a bold, positive life change. The book is laid out in steps and acts as a "driver's ed", even offering pages for notes as we go along.

The Unofficial Guide to Fatherhood is his second book which outlines the pressures, expectations and challenges of being a father. As fathers, we want to give the best to our children. This book helps to add to the much-needed growing dialog among fathers in today's culture. Written by a group of 9 (fathers), this book combines personal anecdotes with highly useful tips to provide readers with a resource for relating, growing and learning as we all strive to be the best father, caregiver, friend and teacher a child could have.

His debut book, the memoir entitled The Poet Who Watched the Whole Parade, can be seen as a window allowing a reader a unique yet true to the core view of the harsh yet beautiful realities of one life. Although primarily about Jay Floyd and the loved ones he lost; it is something highly relateable to any reader. This book is a reflection of his journey through life and the parade of those that impacted him deeply.

Jay Floyd beautifully uses words to paint vivid pictures and make analogies that help readers connect the concepts to real life. His work consistently delves into aspects of human nature and he presents, for readers, a unique take on life and with the ultimate bold message: love is the ultimate victory regardless of what you have been though.
