WIN IN HEALTH

How Jon Gordon Flipped His Health & Mindset… Choosing to Transform Himself First and Then Teach the World His Proven Path to Lasting Well-Being: F.U.E.L.

Jon Gordon—the bestselling author of over 30 books, including The Energy Bus and The One Truth—has inspired millions with his message of positive leadership and faith-fueled living. But what many don’t know is that his life-changing F.U.E.L. framework was born from his own battle with stress, negativity, and despair.

In his twenties, after losing his job during the dot-com crash, Jon found himself overwhelmed by fear and blame. He was spiraling, making his marriage miserable, and struggling with depression. His wife finally confronted him with a painful but powerful ultimatum: “I love you, but I refuse to spend my life with someone who makes me miserable. If you don’t change, we’re over.”

That wake-up call set Jon on a journey of daily gratitude walks, prayer, and intentional mindset shifts–a journey that led him to true health in mind, body, and soul. From this transformation came his powerful F.U.E.L. framework. Today, he teaches this life-changing approach to top organizations and some of the most elite professional sports teams in the world.

Here’s how you can use Jon’s F.U.E.L. framework to transform your health and life, too:

F — Feed the Positive

Positivity isn’t naive. It's a proven success driver. Research from Duke University shows optimists work harder, earn more, and achieve more, because they believe in a brighter future and act accordingly. Feed your mind daily with hope, faith, and empowering words. What you believe shapes what you create.

U — Uplift Your Mind & Soul

Negative thoughts will always come, but we don’t have to accept them. Uplifting yourself through gratitude, prayer, worship music, and daily reminders of what you’re thankful for elevates your state of mind. Jon shared how he began taking gratitude walks each morning, which became prayer walks, changing not only his mental health but his entire outlook.

E — Encourage Yourself & Others

Encouragement means putting courage into yourself and others. Jon teaches everyone from pro athletes to CEOs that self-talk matters: don’t listen to your fears — talk back to them. Replace doubt with declarations of strength: “I am capable. I am loved. I am becoming better every day.” Encouragement lifts you and creates a culture of hope wherever you lead.

L — Love Deeply

Love is the most powerful force for healing and connection. Love unites what fear divides. Perfect love casts out fear, and a life filled with love—for God, for others, and for yourself—creates resilience, trust, and a sense of purpose. Jon reminds us that when we lead and live with love, everything else falls into place.

Jon’s own story—moving from negativity and despair to becoming one of today’s most sought-after speakers on mindset and faith—is proof that when we feed the positive, uplift our souls, encourage ourselves, and love deeply, we transform our health, relationships, and future.

Remember: Fuel yourself every day with F.U.E.L., and watch how your energy, mindset, and life change for the better.
