If you have dreams—if you’ve discovered your Authentic Life—don’t delay taking action to move towards them. I’m not saying you have to drop everything and jump fully into it, but you should start moving towards the life you are being called to. Don’t delay because it could take some time to manifest your Authentic Life. Remember, most overnight successes took ten years to build. Don’t delay because you don’t know when you’ll run out of time. No one knows when their last day will be, and you...

I hope you had a great week! Earlier this summer, I hosted a few talks at my house for Roman, Leo, and their teammates about mindset and mindfulness. The feedback from the first three talks in the Mindful Mondays series was so positive that it's kept me thinking about how to keep the momentum going. Now, I know the Mindful Mondays were created for teenagers, which, to the best of my knowledge, is not the audience of the Weekly Note, but I still wanted to share the latest addition to the...
