faith and fear require the same thing
“Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose.” - Bob Proctor If you’re gonna choose one, might as well choose faith. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
connect spirit, mind, body, and money w/ Justin Castelli
I'm on a mission to help more people find and live their authentic life. Check out my Daily Notes where I write a short note each day about the connection of spirit, mind, body and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life.
“You will never find love outside of you. But you will sure find a mirror of what’s inside of you.” - David Dayan Fisher You might think what I initially did when I read this quote: of course, I can find love outside of me. Ang, Roman, Leo, Silas, my parents, my friends, etc., all love me. There is certainly love for me outside of my Self. But, as I reread it, I saw it through the lens of Fisher: the love I receive from others is a mirror of the love I have for my Self. I cannot receive love...
A stream of consciousness that occurred this morning in the shower: You don’t have to know your future. Directionally, you can have an idea of where you want to go, but you don’t have to know exactly. You can’t know. There will be events, people, and new ideas that happen between now and then, which will change what is possible and what you desire. Focus on the now. What is your heart telling you to do now? Where is your intuition guiding you? Do that. Explore that. Be that. Then continue to...
I hope you had a great weekend! I started reading Dr. David Hawkins's Letting Go and have found so many great passages that I'm sure they will make their way to Daily Notes, AlignedLife, and other content. Today's Daily Note was inspired by one, and I thought I'd kick off this Weekly Note with another as a reminder of another reason it's so important for us to live our Authentic Lives. "The lower our emotional state, the more negatively we influence not only our own lives but also all of the...
“Because emotions emit a vibrational energy field, they affect and determine the people who are in our lives. Life events become influenced by our repressed and suppressed emotions on the psychic level. Thus, anger attracts angry thoughts. The basic rule of the psychic universe is that “like attracts like.” Similarly, “love promotes love,” so that the person who has let go of a lot of inner negativity is surrounded by loving thoughts, loving events, loving people, and loving pets. This...
“Following your genuine intellectual curiosity is a better foundation for a career than following whatever is making money right now.” -Naval Ravikant Rarely is chasing money the right decision in the long term. I know staying with your curiosity or intuition over money is easier said than done, but a decision made solely for money is usually not aligned with your Authentic Life, which is why it rarely works in the long run. Like many of my beliefs, I’ve not only witnessed it, but I’ve also...
Once you’ve found your Authentic Self…stop hedging. Once you’ve found how to bring your unique gifts and talents to the world…stop hedging. Once you’ve gotten clear on your Authentic Life…stop hedging. Once you know, don’t downplay it…stop hedging. I was talking with a friend today about our businesses, and I shared with him how the momentum for my work at Santiago was picking up. He commented that I had been at it for a while now, which made me reflect. I have been in the business of the...
A new episode of AlignedLife dropped today, and it's a special one... What if you were given the choice to stay or go — and you chose to stay? In this conversation, I sit down with my friend Aaron Schaben, and we start exactly where his story begins: the moment he left his body during a near-death experience at the 2019 Boston Marathon. With an internal body temperature of 108°, Aaron found himself above his own body — not in fear, but in complete peace — and was given a choice most of us...
“Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself.” -Roy T. Bennett See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
I’ve been thinking about the present lately—trying to give my Self the opportunity to spend more time in the present moment. I once heard that the present moment is the only real moment, and that the past and future are merely stories. The past is a story about what we think happened through our perspective. The future is a story about what we want to see happen. Neither is true. Yet, so many people allow the stories of the past and the future to rob them of experiencing the present moment. I...
