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.

“Doing your best is taking the action because you love it, not because you’re expecting a reward.” - Don Miguel Ruiz The more pure the intention, the closer to coming from a state of love, the more genuine the action, the more likely the Divine will reward you with what you need, right when you need it. Do without expectation of anything in return, and you might find your Self receiving more than you could have ever imagined. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

I hope you had a great week! I come to this week's Weekly Note with a ton of creative energy. If you read either today's Daily Note or the Omen from this week (they are the same post), you'll see that I am leaning into spending more time creating content for the AlignedLife podcast, the AlignedLife blog, and YouTube--I have a ton of ideas I want to am going to implement and tonight I'll be working on creating a regular schedule for everything. You'll also read how I plan to create new...

I shared this as an Omen yesterday, but I know the Omens are relatively undiscovered at this moment and might be seen in the Weekly Note that you’ll receive later today, but I wanted to share this as a Note to give it a chance for more people to see. I hope that it: 1.) Encourages anyone thinking of doing something similar, or not similar, to follow their intuition, even if it goes against past experiences and “logic” as accepted by society. 2.) Encourages more people to respond to Notes,...
