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

Last night, my friends and I hiked to the top of Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona, for the sunset. The sunset wasn’t the only gift that we would receive at the top of the mountain. When we reached the summit, we were greeted by two young Black men sitting on the rocks like they were sent there to see us. They sat on rocks with their backs to the main view, facing the exact point we would come up. Immediately, they said hello and dapped up my two friends—acknowledging that it was nice to see...

My friend and I have a longstanding debate that will never be settled: who is the better rapper, J. Cole or Drake? You already know where I stand. We’ll never settle this debate because what we each appreciate in music differs, along with what we consider important metrics. Drake, whom I actually like and listen to, clearly wins the streaming and popularity game. You don’t reach the level of distribution and audience size Drake has if you are not good. He has mastered creating radio hits and...
