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 |

“A simple idea that’s too often neglected. To appreciate you. For all you’ve gone through and all you’ve become. For all the fears you’ve faced and found freedom from. For the dreams you now only dreamed but had the bravery to make real. For all the people you’ve helped and for all the food you have done. You matter more than you know. So please do not measure your worthiness by what the majority tells you that you should be, do and have.” - Robin Sharma This might be the greatest...
“It is not death that a man should fear, but never beginning to live.” -Marcus Aurelius Only you know whether you are really living. My definition of living is hardly the standard everyone should use, but if you’re reading this Note, I think you’ll agree and know where I’m heading. Living a life that is not true to you–not authentic to you–is not living, at least not fully living. Yes, waking up each morning, existing, getting through the day, and maybe finding a little time to do something...
Tonight is the college football National Championship game between Indiana University (my wife’s alma mater) and the University of Miami. While we’ll be watching the game and rooting for the Hoosiers, I’m more interested in seeing what happens after the game with the coaching staff at IU–particularly the offensive and defensive coordinators. I’m sure both are already being courted by programs to leave IU to become head coaches, which will lead both men to reflect on what they want–what is...
