I'm on a mission to help more people find and live their authentic life. Check out my Daily Notes where I write a short note each day about the connection of spirit, mind, body and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life.
internal world influences the external

“Transform your world by transforming your internal state. Start by learning to let go of negative self judgment, and replace it with positive and loving thoughts about yourself. Be kind to yourself, and watch your external world change.”
— Anita Moorjani
Over the last few days, through a combination of podcasts, YouTube videos, and reading, I have been reminded that our internal state creates our external state – meaning that your thoughts, emotions, and energy greatly influence how you perceive the world and experience it. If you aren’t happy with what you are experiencing, how can you change your internal state to begin to change what is happening externally? For me, it’s having the awareness that my internal state is in a state of unrest. Once I notice it, I tell my Self, out loud, that I’m not going to stay in that state and that I need to focus on something positive. It sounds simple, and usually it is, but even if it takes a few minutes to find the positive to focus on, it’s incredibly effective. If you struggle with allowing your internal state to corrupt your external, instead of focusing on “how” to fix that, first focus on developing the awareness of when it gets messy within. Awareness is what I think is key to reclaiming control of your internal state – once you are aware, you can do what works best for you to shift the energy. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

"Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” -Horace Mann When I first heard this quote, I thought it was a little harsh– “be ashamed.” But, the more I sat with it, I saw how Horace Mann, back in the 1800s, was encouraging people to pursue their authentic lives, as one of the best ways to achieve victory for humanity is to live the life you were created to live. When you live your authentic life, you will undoubtedly impact the lives of others and find your victory for...
Did you miss me? Did you even notice my absence the last few days? If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, the last Daily Note was written on 10.8.25, which means there are five missed Daily Notes. Thankfully, the missed Notes were by choice and not an emergency that kept me from writing. Last Thursday, Ang and I took off to spend a few days in Sedona, Arizona, for a belated anniversary celebration. I decided after writing the Note for the 8th that I wouldn't write any Notes while we were...
I don't usually share posts from my AlignedLife Substack, where I write in greater detail about money, but I wanted to share this one in today's Note because I wanted to share my idea, which I've written and talked about before, and share the podcast episode that sparked the post. Here's the post originally shared on AlignedLife over on Substack: On a recent interview on The Diary of A CEO podcast, Morgan Housel shared with host Steven Bartlett that there are two ways to solve the problem of...
