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 |

What I observed was that the reactions and responses seemed less about the news itself and more about the individual poster's internal state. What looked like excitement or disappointment about the news felt, to me, to be more about the individual’s internal world....
Successful people think differently. They don’t waste energy asking, “Why is this happening to me?” They ask, “What can I do about it?” -Anonymous I saw this on IG the other day and wrote it down, but I didn’t write down the account that posted it, so I can’t at least attribute it to that account. If you find your Self dismissing this, my guess is your default is the “why”, which is probably the human mind’s default setting. Before dismissing it, I challenge you to give it a try next time...
This morning, I was listening to the latest Rich Roll podcast with Hellah Sidibe and Rich said something that stood out to me—it was something simple and common. “Life is hard.” Being a big believer that the words we choose matter and can quietly shape our reality—or maybe they quietly reveal our inner worlds, I cringed (not sure if that’s the right word, but I had a reaction) when I heard Rich say it. No doubt that life doesn’t always go smoothly, and there are times when we are tested. And...
