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 |

We get too many emails as it is, so I was happy to send them all in one. Not wanting to make the Weekly Note just about me, I decided to curate some additional content to make the email more valuable, and that is where the change is coming. For the foreseeable future, the Weekly Note will return to its original purpose —...
This morning I walked to our local coffee shop to work from there for a couple of hours—it takes about thirty minutes to get there. On the way home, I decided not to finish the podcast I'd been listening to on the way there. Instead, I walked home with just my thoughts and stayed present with the nature around me. Sure, I could have kept listening to the podcast to be “productive” and make the most of my time, but I felt it was a better use of thirty minutes to just be. When I first started...
“When you arise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.” -Marcus Aurelius We often jump out of bed, grab our phones, and head into the day. It would do us a lot of good to start a little slower and think about what Marcus Aurelius wrote long ago. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
