be delusional enough to live your Authentic Life
|
“Be delusional. Believe that you have the ability to make it work no matter what. Believe that regardless of what happens, it’ll all work out in the end because that’s what it takes. Anything and everything else leads to self-sabotage and failure. If you don’t believe you have what it takes, then your subconscious will do everything it can to prove that you’re right. You don’t need to be special or talented; you don’t need all the support in the world. All you need is to believe with every fiber of your being that you’re capable of figuring it out. And sooner or later, you will.”
- Ross Harkness via Dr. Julie Gurner share on Substack This definition of delusional complements my use of irrational for 2026–I love this. I don’t know what I did to have delusion built into my DNA, but this is my default setting. I’ve learned how to check my delusions and not let them lead me down dangerous paths–for example, I’ve always thought I could start a successful restaurant. Despite knowing nothing about running a restaurant and being an average cook, there have been multiple times in my life where I have thought to my Self how I could successfully start a restaurant. And while I believe I probably would figure it out, that has nothing to do with me living my Authentic Life, so I immediately shut it down. I'll save my delusion for building the business of the Authentic Life through RLS Wealth/Santiago, my content, and PRST (in the future)--it's going to require a lot of it. If you aren’t hardwired with delusion, as Ross Harkness lays it out, I believe living your Authentic Life and maintaining alignment among your spirit, mind, body, and money can help you build confidence and overcome delusion. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

“A steward of money is someone who responsibly manages financial resources as a caretaker for another's assets, making wise, ethical decisions aligned with personal values and goals, often with a spiritual component recognizing that wealth is a trust to be used for good, including saving, investing, giving, and avoiding waste, rather than self-indulgence.” -Google AI response to “definition of steward of money.” One way you can change your relationship with money is to change how you view...
Happy New Year! I apologize for just now getting this weekend's Weekly Note out to you. The boys went back to school on Monday, and I decided to squeeze as much time as possible with them on Sunday when I usually put together the email. I'll be back on the regular schedule this week! I don't know about you, but I'm coming into this new year feeling more aligned and confident than ever, and I feel that this energy is contagious, so that anyone riding alongside me is going to be a beneficiary...
It’s that time of year when self-help podcasts, articles, and videos proliferate as people plan to make improvements in the new year. As you begin to consume this well-intentioned content (well, most of it is well-intentioned) remember that the expert or guru sharing information is doing so from the perspective of their lived experience–my Self included. Many experts speak as if their way is the only way—that they have access to knowledge that applies to everyone; the truth is, they don’t. I...
