Who does your calendar show you are? Does how you spend your time align with your Authentic Life? An exercise I’m currently working on is revisiting my ideal day and my realistic ideal day–there’s a subtle difference between the two. My ideal day consists of how I’d structure my day if there were no “buts.” For example, yoga every day at 7:00, BUT that’s in the middle of the morning routine with the boys. I think it’s important to know what my ideal day would look like, even if it’s not...

“Everything is energy, and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want, and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” -Albert Einstein The vision of your Authentic Life–match the frequency. The financial life you desire for your Authentic Life–match the frequency. The impact you want to have in the world–match the frequency. Like you would turn the dial on the radio to tune into the station you desired,...

I’ve shared before one of the main money stories I’ve had to work through, and am still working on, is the narrative that wanting to make more money is greedy. For most of my career, I never set income goals or new asset goals. My internal story was that if I took care of people and did the right thing, money would take care of itself–which I still, and always will, believe is true. In the past, I was always afraid that if I set a financial goal, the Universe would interpret my intentions as...

“Jimmy: Sometimes, a little reminder that life is short can be a gift. Can give us that little extra push that we need. Alice: That’s pretty stupid, thought isn’t it? Jimmy: What? Alice: Needing something bad to happen to make you do the thing you should have done all along. Jimmy: I’m not so sure it matters how you get there. You just gotta hope that when you do, it’s not too late.” The closing dialogue to this week’s episode of Shrinking. Don’t let it be too late for whatever it is you...

You probably know the old proverb, “Curiosity killed the cat.” I’m sure at some point in your life, someone has recited that to you in order to keep you from exploring your curiosity. But did you know that the cat’s “death” is only half the actual saying? The second part says, “but satisfaction brought it back,” which suggests that the result of the curiosity was worth the risk. It’s interesting that society has chosen to leave out the proverb's positive aspect and has allowed it to become a...

“Doing your best is taking the action because you love it, not because you’re expecting a reward.” - Don Miguel Ruiz The more pure the intention, the closer to coming from a state of love, the more genuine the action, the more likely the Divine will reward you with what you need, right when you need it. Do without expectation of anything in return, and you might find your Self receiving more than you could have ever imagined. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

I hope you had a great week! I come to this week's Weekly Note with a ton of creative energy.

You'll also read how I plan to create new...

I shared this as an Omen yesterday, but I know the Omens are relatively undiscovered at this moment and might be seen in the Weekly Note that you’ll receive later today, but I wanted to share this as a Note to give it a chance for more people to see. I hope that it: 1.) Encourages anyone thinking of doing something similar, or not similar, to follow their intuition, even if it goes against past experiences and “logic” as accepted by society. 2.) Encourages more people to respond to Notes,...
