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 was encouraged by many things, but one thing that stood out to me was that most of the men had decided to define success for themselves rather than chase it as others defined it. Then I listened to a podcast for financial advisors this morning where my friend Khe Hy was a guest. He discussed with the host, another friend...
Your body is full of wisdom, and most of us do not know how to access this wisdom. In today’s episode of AlignedLife, my guest, Lindsay Troxell, joins me to discuss somatics. We don’t get too deep into somatics and keep it at an introductory level, as many people aren’t even aware of somatics and the work associated with it. Here are a handful of takeaways from the episodes–you’ll definitely want to listen to or watch the entire episode to learn more about these: Somatics is the practice of...
“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” -The Dalai Lama See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
