Defining Your Own Journey Young adults ( 18-23) are often not expected to make “mature” decisions …primarily because they are not mature. Many live for play-time, digital conversation, and recreational drugs. Jake Ducey has been-there-and-done-that, … and then did a lot more. rather than just turn-on, tune—in & drop –out, Jake stepped-out and be a ‘scholar-of-the road’. Jake found his way, wrote a book and is taking his message of real self-reliance to peers and to parents : “There’s a difference between learning it and living it. Learning it means waking up every day knowing you’re doing something less than your wildest dreams. Living it means courageously stepping toward your wildest dreams, even if you don’t know where to begin…” At 21, Jake has an uncommon young wisdom about perception, peer pressure and personal development!
