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.
Do you have trouble reaching your goals? Maybe your goals aren’t aligned with your Authentic Life? Instead of thinking you aren’t “good enough”, reevaluate the goal(s) you are pursuing and be honest with you Self whether or not they are goals you actually care about, are called to, and are aligned with your Authentic Life. Sometimes we come up short on goals because we have to try something different or work a little harder—notice I didn’t say fail because there is no such thing as failure,...
I have a confession: I skipped yoga this morning to take a power nap in my podcast studio. The last few days I’ve found my Self more tired than usual. You probably wouldn’t be able to tell if you were sitting across the table from me—I’m not moving around like a slug or appearing down, but I know how I normally feel internally, and I’m tired. And, I know exactly why my body has been telling me to rest; it’s a lag from my trip to Joshua Tree last week. But, it’s not the lag you might be...
