If you’re looking for confirmation that you are aligned, heading in the right direction, and living your Authentic Life, take a look at the people coming into your life. In the last few weeks, I have had the chance to meet some fantastic people who have been in the same circles as I have. Many of them I have known who they are, but never had the chance to connect with them or thought they’d be interested in connecting with me–not in a bad way, but more, not knowing who I was might have kept...

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” -Marcus Aurelius There’s no better way to start the day than by remembering the gift that life is. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

Challenging the status quo has been on my mind for the last few days. Why do we do things the way we do them? Why do we do things and not even question why we do them that way? Who decided how we do these things? What would happen if we decided to do something different from the way we’ve always done it? Now, not everything that makes up the status quo we abide by is bad. In fact, many of the things we unconsciously do should be done precisely the way they are done–for example, we don’t...

I have noticed “authenticity” popping up all over the place lately—and it’s being used in a way that is aligned with the “Authentic Life.” I’ve talked about how authenticity has become a buzzword and how I refuse to let it be hijacked and watered down by influences, inauthentic people, and disingenuous people who use it without any real substance. It was refreshing and exciting to hear people using it in a way that will hopefully encourage more people to pursue becoming their authentic Self....

Yesterday I had multiple conversations with new friends in a community I am part of (shoutout to The Leading Edge), and a common theme came up in a couple of them… purpose. This morning, I woke up about 15 minutes earlier than my alarm was set for, and I had this flow of consciousness that revisited the conversations and added additional thoughts. I thought about going back to sleep and trying to remember the idea, but then I sat up, grabbed my phone, and opened up my notes app. Instead of...

“What does violently aligned look like for you?” A good friend of mine asked me this earlier this week in reference to a Daily Note from last month, "violently aligned." I first reminded him that there isn’t a “right” way to find personal alignment—what works for me won’t work for him or anyone else, but what I do might help give some direction on where to start. I believe “violently aligned” is found in the alignment of spirit, mind, body, and money, and as I wrote in the earlier Note, the...
