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.

I'm on a mission to help more people find and live their authentic life. Check out my Daily Notes where I write a short note each day about the connection of spirit, mind, body and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life.

Genuinely, and without any expectations, shifting your energy to others is an undefeated way to unlock your Self and to bring momentum back to your Pursuit of your Authentic Life.

You can be having success.You can dream big.You can be confident. And you can still be playing small. The thing is, no one will know you’re limiting your Self because it’s happening within. The outside can’t see the internal dialogue or fear that is keeping you from achieving even more—fulfilling more of your Authentic Life. You might not even be aware of the internal dialogue or fear that is keeping you from achieving even more—fulfilling more of your Authentic Life. I know this because I...
Today we drove up to New Buffalo, Michigan, for a few days to revive our family summer trip. We started coming up here in 2019, and thanks to AAU, last summer was our first year without going. I wasn’t sure how much the boys enjoyed the trip until last week, when they each mentioned on separate occasions how excited they were for our trip. I knew they had good times during our trips, but I didn’t know it had become so special to them. Building traditions can make ordinary experiences into...
