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 |

So tell me…What version of your Self are you living?One you chose?Or one handed down? Did you pick your path?Or just follow the signs someone else...
“You are your own teacher. Investigate yourself to find the truth–inside, not outside. Knowing yourself is most important.” -Ajahn Chah As I prepare for tomorrow night’s Keep Pursuing Series talk, “you” I couldn’t help but smile when the Open App (the meditation app I use) shared Chah’s quote this morning–part of the talk, an important part of it, is about how all of the answers to living your authentic life are found within, not in the outside world. The outside world might play a part in...
