keep it simple


Complexity sells.

There is no shortage of complex systems to help you achieve any goal you may have. It seems the more complex, the more sophisticated, the more expensive. I’m not convinced the results are any better than a simple approach based on fundamentals we all know exist.

Want to change your body composition? Probably just need to track what you’re eating, lift weights, walk more, and sleep better.

Want to improve your financial picture? Probably need to review cash flow, identify misalignment, look for opportunities to provide more value to the world, and align resources with what matters most to you.

These are simple approaches to a couple of common goals.

I’d like to think that I’ve found a simple approach to discovering your Authentic Life—the reason you are here and the purpose you are pursuing.

Spirit, mind, body, and money—find alignment with these in the ways that are authentic to you.

Simple.

Well, the process is simple, but depending on where you are coming from, the actual work may be difficult, the simplicity of the process should make it less intimidating.

Sometimes, more complexity is needed. But most of the time, simple is all you need, and it is more likely to be implemented and carried out than the complex.

Keep it simple as you pursue your Authentic Life.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

Ang had to share Mother's Day with Silas, as it was his First Communion today--just as you would expect from a great mom, she didn't mind one bit.

For about 9 months, Silas was into WWE. Like obsessed. Toys were bought. Mornings were spent watching old matches on YouTube. Events were attended. Research on wrestlers was done. Wrestling matches were held in the pool and basement. WWE 2k26 was played. I thought I had a lifelong WWE fan on my hands. And then I noticed a change. The toys sat. Mornings were now being spent watching old NBA and Olympic basketball games on YouTube. Questions about athletes were now about NBA players. A...
