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,

It would do us a lot of good to start a little slower and think about what Marcus Aurelius wrote long ago. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

Sometimes the omens sent to help guide you show up in different ways—not always the obvious way we’d expect. Seeing bald eagles flying overhead or resting in a tree has become one of my most powerful omens. When I see a bald eagle in the wild I know exactly why I’m seeing and what it is telling me. I don’t really look for them, but some days I’m looking for confirmation from the Divine that I am open and more aware of the possibility of seeing my favorite bird. This week I had one of those...

There will be times when you will need to jump into action without warning. An idea will come to you and it will feel right. Most people will sit on it telling their Self they’ll do it later.Most people will think of all the reasons it won’t work.Most people will never take action. In The Creative Act, Rick Rubin explains that ideas will move on to someone else if action is not taken—this is why you see someone having success with an idea you had. The idea came to you, you weren’t ready to...
