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 hope you had a great weekend! As you know, a couple of weeks ago, I was in Arizona for a retreat to kick off the Integrated Wealth Advisor certificate program I am participating in over the next eight months. I planned on writing more about the retreat, and I may still, but I just wanted to share a little insight from this week's first day of class. The level of excitement and energy I felt during class confirmed that the IWA is exactly what I am supposed to be doing this year with my time...

Social media continues to show me why I am less and less drawn to spend time on it–I’m working up the courage to bail on it, with the exception of using it to distribute content and document life on IG for my Self. I saw a post saying that J. Cole is the most performative hip-hop artist, trying to convince everyone that he is humble. SMH. For those not familiar with why someone would post this, J. Cole, who happens to be 1.b in my favorite artists (with 1.a Kendrick Lamar), just released his...

I love the Olympics; I prefer the Summer Olympics, but I’ll still watch the Winter Olympics, and I’ve really enjoyed the last couple of days because of an individual who has quickly become the star of the show. I think it’s safe to say that star Alysa Liu. Coming into the Winter Olympics, Alysa’s story of stepping away from skating due to burnout and a lack of enjoyment in Beijing was well documented. If I’m being honest, I wasn’t following the ice skating world between the Olympics, so I...
