distractions


This morning, I was thinking about the two bald eagles I saw on Friday, and I can’t help but believe that most people driving along 116th St. in Fishers did not see the two massive birds hanging out and flying around.

I could have missed seeing them had I been distracted by my phone, other thoughts, or even changing songs on the radio.

There is no shortage of distractions today, which might keep you from receiving important messages from the Universe—you might be missing your bald eagles because you aren’t paying attention.

Not only might distractions keep you from receiving messages, but they can also be getting in the way of you getting connected with your Self; spending time on social media, getting pulled into media headlines, or participating in gossip all keep you from spending time with your Self—time which will help you get closer to your authentic life.

You don’t need to give those distractions up in totality, but reducing the distracted time will give you the time and space to connect to the things that matter most as you pursue your authentic life. The more you experience moments like I did Friday, the more you’ll want to make sure you reduce the distractions in your life and become more in tune with the Universe.

​
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

I try not to use the Daily Notes to distribute my podcast, but the latest AlignedLife episode is perfect for the Notes. I am joined by my friend and fellow Leading Edge Community member, Jeff Williams, and we dive into his decision to leave his corporate career after 27 years. What makes his decision so inspiring and valuable for listeners is it wasn’t a decision to retire—it was a decision to leap into the unknown with the faith that he will be led to what is next. I have a pretty good idea...

"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23 We can choose which issues we allow to dictate our reality, and I take this to mean we should let our heart determine which issues we take up. The heart is our direct connection to your Creator, and this is why it comes first in the alignment of spirit, mind, and body. It can provide all of the answers we need to live our Authentic Life, including which issues we take on. Unfortunately, many people allow...
