He's not everyone's cup of tea looks-wise (but, then, who is everyone's cup of tea? Jude Law probably), but he is seriously awesome.
His name is Rob Dyrdek...
... and he has a lust for life that is staggering and inspiring.
He is a skateboarder, entrepreneur, multiple world record holder, pop star, actor, and star of the MTV reality shows Rob and Big, Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, and Ridiculousness.
What I love about Rob is the way he approaches life... like it's one grand experiment/quest to find things to delight himself and others. He lives with joy. I think that is great.
He also loves dogs, mini horses, and tiny baby piglets.
He doesn't mind looking like idiot for a fun idea.
And he understands the importance of spontaneously breaking it down to a soulful ballad while going through a car wash.
When I'm struggling with anxiety about doing something... talking to a stranger, making a difficult phone call, or doing anything out of my ridiculously confining comfort zone... I try to think 'What Would Rob Do?'.
And the answer is that he would approach any situation with boundless enthusiasm and optimism. He would treat it like his success was inevitable. He would be relentless. He would laugh at himself and carry on no matter what.
We all need to find some of the Rob in ourselves, and, if we can't do that, we can pretend he is our imaginary boyfriend, standing beside us to cheer us on.
Have fun today, kids. The world is your oyster.

I think you're on to something here. Winston Churchill once said, "Success consists of going from failure to failurewithout loss of enthusiasm."
