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 |

Well, it's been a minute...I know. The last month of summer was extremely busy with a couple of trips to South Carolina for AAU, our family trip to New Buffalo, Michigan, and then getting ready for back to school--Indiana loves to start school early, and our boys started on the 5th. I didn't forget about the Weekly Note during July, but I did prioritize other areas of life for the month--I chose late-night swims, long days of driving after a morning game, and morning walks. I hope you don't...
“Every man dies. Not every man really lives.” -William Wallace (quote from Braveheart—not proven he really said it). You may have also heard Drake say something similar in the song Moment 4 Life, “Everybody dies, but not everyone lives.” Two different mediums—one movie, one song. Two different time periods—one a long, long time ago, one modern. Same important message. Just because you are alive today doesn’t mean you are actually living life. Don’t waste this awesome gift you’ve been given...
“When you desire something, it isn’t primarily about the thing itself; it is about the state of being that you imagine will come with it – a state of fulfillment, contentment, presence, calm.” -Ben Katt If the something is aligned with your Authentic Life, you’ll experience those states of being and more. If the something is misaligned with your Authentic Life, you’ll experience disappointment, frustration, and discontentment that you didn’t receive what you had hoped for, Most people...
