consistency
|
Little did I know on December 30th, 2022, that I was writing the first of 1,000 (and soon to be more) Daily Notes. I didn’t set out to start a consistent writing practice. I had no expectations. And if I’m being honest, I probably didn’t expect to keep writing beyond a month or two. But here I am, writing the 1,000 Daily Note since that trip to Marco Island, with only three missed days. Except for waking up each day, these Daily Notes have been the most consistent thing I’ve ever done. The Daily Notes are never planned in advance. I “download” or receive the message through meditation, books, and random quotes that reveal themselves to me. The only stipulation I’ve ever put on them is that they need to somehow connect to the subjects of spirit, mind, body, money, creativity, or the authentic life. Through this consistent writing, my understanding of the authentic life has grown. And hopefully, my ability to communicate these ideas and concepts has improved as well. I know without a doubt that I have grown thanks to writing the Daily Notes, and I hope they’ve played a small role in your personal growth as well. I don’t have a number in mind for how many Notes I’ll write, but I also don’t see an end in sight. However, I know as easily as the Notes have come to me, they can stop coming to me each day just as easily. I thought about writing a lessons learned post to commemorate today’s milestone, but that didn’t feel right, but I will share one thing… Consistency has never been easier than writing my Daily Notes. Not everything you will be (or should be) consistent with will be easy, but that doesn’t mean you should abandon the practice. But, if you find consistency to be easy, then you should definitely keep doing whatever it is until it’s no longer easy. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I hope that reading the Daily Notes has been a net positive for you. Here’s to the next 1,000! See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the energy you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” - Albert Einstein This goes against what we’re taught. It seems unbelievable and impossible. If you’re not happy with the life you are experiencing…try changing your energy (your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs) to match the life you want to have. What do you have to lose? The worst-case...
“Here’s my point: the solution to an overbusy life is not more time. It’s to slow down and simplify our lives around what really matters.” -John Mark Comer, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry This past Monday, I had a morning call get rescheduled, which allowed me to ease into the day. Instead of rushing from school drop off to the gym to the office and into meetings, I had nothing on my calendar until the afternoon. I recalled an experience earlier this year where I walked to my local coffee...
“Belief comes before ability.” - David Senra I’ve been a fan of the podcast Founders for a while now. When I saw that the host, David Senra, was starting another podcast where he actually talks to successful entrepreneurs, leaders, and CEOs instead of just reading their biographies, it became an automatic add to the podcasts I subscribe to. In his first episode with Daniel Ek, Senra repeated something I’ve heard him say numerous times on Founders, “Belief comes before ability.” This rhymes...
