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 |

This morning I had a great conversation with my brother Sam and I told him I thought it was going to lead to today’s Note. I decided to keep the Note my stream of thoughts and not clean it up to flow a little more naturally. Greatness is defined by what you can control—what you can do, how you can serve. Once you deliver greatness, the outcomes are out of your control because they have been handed to someone else. Most times, your greatness will carry to the individuals who have received it,...
Joe Hudson tells the story of his daughter sharing that she found her billion-dollar idea. He asked if she meant a business she could build to be worth a billion dollars, and she replied no; it is a business she wouldn’t sell for a billion dollars. What a flip of perspective. Most people are focused on building something that can be turned into a financial windfall, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But what if building something that gave you purpose, was something you wouldn’t want to...
“Living life as an artist is a practice. You are either engaging in the practice or you’re not. It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it. It’s like saying, “I’m not good at being a monk.” You are either living as a monk, or you’re not. We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output. The real work of the artist is a way of being in the world.” -Rick Rubin You are an artist. Your greatest masterpiece is your life. And it will be your masterpiece whether you control the design or...
