If you woke up today to find out that you had all of the financial resources you would ever need, what would change? What would your life look like going forward? What would you do with your newfound resources? Envision the authentic life you’d live if money were no object and write down what you see. How far are you away from that authentic life today? I've found that most of us aren't THAT far from the authentic life we envision if we had all the resources we'd ever need--in our minds, it...

Trust in your feeling. The internal guide that shows up in the form of a feeling exists to help you navigate through life. The more you trust it, the easier it becomes to keep trusting it. If you’re not used to trusting your intuitive feeling, it can be hard to decipher between a guiding feeling and a feeling originating from other emotions. For example, fear can be mistaken to mean that you should not continue to go down the path you are traveling. Fear stops you in your tracks and sends you...

Work-life balance is often unjustifiably attacked. The hustle culture crowd wants you to believe that you can’t have success professionally while having the personal life you want. They want you to believe it’s either/or and that you have to make a choice. This is false. The idea that balance has to be 50-50 is inaccurate; the greatest flaw in the work-life balance argument is the use of the word “balance.” When I think of balance, I immediately picture a balancing scale with pebbles on each...

"To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." - Buddha The idea of aligning spirit, mind, body, and money came to me–I know it was not an original thought and that it was placed inside of me to share with the world. The connection between spirit and mind and body is undeniable, and while body comes later in the alignment formula, it is no less important than spirit or mind. As Buddha taught long before I was given the gift of my...

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, we move into the Christmas season of shopping–although many stores started their Black Friday and holiday sales well before Thanksgiving, and it’s important to remember that not only should our spending for our Selves align with our authentic lives, but so should the spending on others. This aligned spending includes dollar amounts, the things we buy, and who we buy for. In no way am I trying to be a Scrooge and tell you not to spend on your loved ones and...

This is not your typical Thanksgiving Day post, but that doesn't mean I'm not thankful for you and your support of The Daily Notes! I love writing these each day, and I would continue to do so even if no one were subscribed, but the writing is more rewarding when I see people opening the emails, sharing the posts, and responding with their own comments. So on this day of giving thanks, I want to thank you for being with me on my Pursuit of my Authentic Life, which includes these Daily Notes....

“We should try by all means to be as grateful as possible. For gratitude is a good thing for ourselves, in a sense in which justice, that is commonly supposed to concern other persons, is not; gratitude returns in large measure unto itself. There is not a man who, when he has benefited his neighbour, has not benefited himself, — I do not mean for the reason that he whom you have aided will desire to aid you, or that he whom you have defended will desire to protect you, or that an example of...

I’ve had too many synchronicities in the last week not to remind you to pay attention to them, and other signs, in your life. A prime example of the most recent synchronicity is Oliver Burkeman. Last week, someone, I can’t remember who, asked me if I had read Burkeman’s most recent book, Meditation for Mortals. I hadn’t, and until then, I hadn’t heard of the book, although I was familiar with Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks. Naturally, I looked up the books, read a little more about Burkeman,...
