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 |

“You don’t need more books, you need the courage to apply what you already know.” - Mohit Panchal As an avid collector of books, I know that more books won’t move the needle on my ability to keep evolving and living my Authentic Life. Don’t make the mistake of believing that a new book is going to be the final thing you need to begin making the changes you want to make or find the answers you seek–it might give you some inspiration, present some new ideas, or give you a framework to try, but...
I don’t ever remember being told how important my network would be in life. I was always taught to treat people with respect, always do the right thing, and stand up for those being targeted or picked on. Basically, the Golden Rule was reinforced by what my parents taught me and what I observed of them. But it was never stressed that by doing this I’d find my Self with a network of people treating me the same way, advocating for my success, and being willing to do their part to help me...
“The world will never be a better place if no one is brave enough to do the right thing.” -Judy Hopps, Zootopia 2 We went and saw Zootopia 2 last weekend. I forgot about this quote I put into my Notes on my phone to revisit until yesterday, when I was outlining what was supposed to be yesterday’s Daily Note–I didn’t get to write it because of an unusually full day that started earlier than usual at the orthodontist. When I read waiting for Leo to get imaging for his next round of braces...
