You Can Be Remarkable!
“You can be remarkable!”
That’s what Jon Acuff told us when he took the stage at his Remarkable You live event last week. Jon says it because he believes it, but he also teaches that remarkable doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with his four-step system: Dream, Plan, Do, Review.
For five years, I have followed Jon through his own remarkable journey. In those five years, he has published five books, continued a weekly podcast, delivered 250 live keynotes, hosted two live events, completed several 10Ks and half-marathons, built a Remarkable You online community, and somehow kept his focus on God and his family.
Procrastination Proof, Jon’s eleventh book, was published two weeks before Remarkable You. At the end of day one, he stood at the back to sign books. After signing 2,000-ish books, he looked up and saw me at the end of the line.
“Joy Walker! How’s the book coming?!”
Those words—that moment—tied everything I had learned from Jon into one pretty red bow. Jon is not remarkable just because he follows his own advice to Dream, Plan, Do, and Review. He is remarkable because of how he makes people feel.
If I ever reach a modicum of success by following Jon’s plan, I hope you will remember me for the way I make you feel. And I hope that feeling is the same one I had when Jon Acuff recognized me and called me by name. Thank you for reading my blogs. You are remarkable!
Thanks for being a part of this journey!

Remarkable! That’s a great word! And all those who are reborn by the in dwelling of His Holy Spirit are REMARKABLE! Becoming more like Christ is a remarkable transformation that anyone can take advantage of without cost but it involves giving all of oneself! Thanks Joy for sharing your continued journey that God has given you! It’s remarkable! ❤️

This is such a great reflection, Joy.
I love the point that being remarkable isn’t just about what you accomplish, it’s about how you make people feel. That moment clearly meant something because it reflected genuine presence and care.
Grateful we got to meet at the event. Keep writing your inspirational story…your encouragement has impact!
