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

“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.” - Mahatma Gandhi I often think about my messaging around the authentic life and worry that it comes across as if living your authentic life will protect you from adversity, challenges, and, as Gandhi notes, conflict because it won’t. Part of the human experience is navigating life’s challenges, and, as you probably have discovered or at least are beginning to understand, it’s through these challenges, both big and small,...

“You are sought after if you reflect love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” - John Marks Templeton, Week Two, Law A As I read today’s passage in Templeton’s Discovering The Laws of Life, I couldn’t help but see connections between Week Two, Law A’s message, and some of my recent Notes. It’s funny how the Universe pulls me towards these passages to share in my Notes; I decided today that I’d check out Discovering The Laws of Life, and...

Happy New Year!! I hope you are having a great start to the new year!! We rang in 2025 in Jamaica for what I believe will be our last warm weather New Year's Eve for a while; Roman will be in high school next year, and his basketball schedule will inevitably prevent us from escaping to the warmth for the end of the year. Our end-of-the-year trip is my favorite trip because I can fully enjoy the warm weather, being in the sun, the sounds of the ocean, and being present with Ang and the boys...
