a simple focus for living your authentic life
|
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 |

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...
This week, I finally got to see The Odyssey downtown at the Indiana State Museum in 70mm (the largest screen), and as I expected, I loved it—Christopher Nolan is my favorite director, so I went in expecting to. I’m going to see it again Monday evening with a couple of friends, and I’m looking forward to seeing what I might have missed the first time around. Instagram must have picked up on me seeing the movie because it started feeding me tons of Odyssey content. One of the posts really...
Not too long, I wrote about your Authentic Life requiring you to be irrational. Another word that has come up in the last few weeks, and that I keep thinking about, is delusion. I consider irrational and delusional to be synonyms, but I really think delusional is one more step further away from “normal” than irrational. I also think delusion requires a level of conviction and belief that doesn’t show up in irrational. Maybe belief is what takes something from irrational to delusional. I’ve...
