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. JC |

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...
