I had a simple idea last night. To live your authentic life, you just need to be your authentic Self. While it is exciting to think about a more authentic life and all of the good that will come with it, there is no way of knowing if the details of the authentic life you envision are what you will actually experience. There’s a chance that by fixating your attention on the details of the life you are pursuing, you may miss paths to a life more true to your authentic Self. But if you focus on living true to your Self and being the most authentic version of it each day, your authentic life will unfold as it should. This doesn’t mean you don’t think about what your future Self might be like—who you would like to become, because I do believe in the law of attraction and manifestation, but the majority of your effort should be on going inward and connecting with your Self, finding the confidence to bring that version out, and continuing to be true to your authentic Self. This sounds easy, but I’ve found that it’s not. Most people might only know a fraction of their authentic Self and struggle with finding the confidence to share even that fraction with the world. The work that needs to be done in order to walk the path of your authentic life begins with truly understanding who you are and meeting your authentic Self. 🎧 Listen to today's Note on the LifeDesign+ podcast. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

It can be scary to bring chapters in our lives to an end. But, in 2026, commit to allowing chapters that need to conclude to do so. You don’t need to start a new chapter today, just because it’s January 1st. Your new chapter may not need to begin until March, July, or even December. The only “when” that matters for your new chapter(s) is when it is right for you. Yesterday, my wife, Ang, announced that a twelve-year chapter of her life would be ending at the end of January. In the fall of...
“We are always getting ready to live, but never living.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson As we head into the new year, make it a focus to start living in 2026. No more preparing.No more planning.No more procrastinating. Just living and experiencing life. And if you’re going to start living, you might as well start living your Authentic Life and leave the life prescribed to you by others behind. I’m heading into ‘26 with tons of momentum, a new level of confidence, and a level of excitement I can’t...
“Your own self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.” -Ramana Maharshi I spoke about this on a new episode of AlignedLife recorded just yesterday, and I can't wait to share it with you. I have this belief that if we all were able to live our Authentic Lives, the world would become a perfect place–heaven on earth. I know that is not possible for several reasons, but that doesn’t mean we, on an individual level, can’t strive to do our part to move the world one person...
