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

When I read this quote, I immediately felt uncomfortable because there are many things I’ve committed to, but shortly after committing, I allow my actions to drift from them I’ve made these commitments with the best intentions, yet my actions don’t always match my internal thoughts and dialogues since most of these commitments are made to my...

I was editing last week’s Keep Pursuing Series talk to get it on YouTube and the podcast players, and I kept thinking about one of the “helpful hints” I shared towards the end of the talk…look to how you can serve others to begin discovering your unique gifts and talents. I’ve written about the importance of serving others and how I think all of our authentic lives include us serving others in some capacity—it could be a career, a side hustle, a volunteer, or some other way. Given that we are...

I hope you had a great week! This week was the third talk in the Keep Pursuing Series called "unique gifts," and it was another great evening. You can catch the replay on YouTube or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Speaking of Apple Podcasts and Spotify, I've made a tough decision (for me, at least) to pause the Daily Note podcast recordings. While I enjoy recording them, the feedback I've received shows that listeners don't love the episodes. The main feedback I'm referencing is just looking at...
