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 |

After May’s talk, I decided to still write the Keep Pursuing talks, but I’d perform them in my podcast studio and share the talks on YouTube and the AlignedLife podcast. At the last minute, I received some signs from the Universe that I should still give the talk in person, so I pivoted and got ready to talk in front of a group of people. The...
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti I don’t like to think of society as sick, but if I step back and look at many things today, perhaps there is a little sickness there. The amount of time spent on mobile devices. The obsession with social media. The physical health of the average American. The tribalness of the political landscape. The rise of mental health struggles, including a significant increase among the youth. The...
Often, it is through struggle that we learn and grow — or, rather, we have the opportunity to learn and grow through struggle. I’m not certain we all take advantage of this opportunity when it is presented to us. I don’t believe struggle is the only way to learn and grow, despite it being a great teacher. Before I go further, what exactly is “struggle?” One person’s struggle may be nothing to another, and one person’s nothing might be another’s struggle; it’s relative and subjective and not...
