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 |

It only appears irrational to others because they do not understand what you know and feel. Your feeling of irrationality is not your own, but the projection of others onto you. Depending on where you are in your Pursuit,...
“Everyone fails at who they are supposed to be. The measure of a person, of a hero, is how well they succeed at being who they are.” -Frigga, Queen of Asgard On the final leg of my trip home, I decided I’d watch one of the free movies Southwest offers and settled on Avengers: Endgame—fun fact: once Roman was old enough, we started watching Marvel movies, and I absolutely love them. When I heard Frigga say this quote to Thor, I sat up a little taller in my seat—she had my attention. I...
This morning, my friends and I did a breathwork session, which has become something we do each year we make the trip. Before we started, our guide was talking to us and said something that stood out to me: “We should love people for who they are, not just accept them for who they are, because that brings acceptance, which implies judgment. We should just love them for who they are.” I’ve never really thought about how acceptance, which we take to be a positive thing, still implies some sort...
