Yesterday I had the privilege of connecting with another member of the Leading Edge, and it was perfect timing, as it often is these days. We had a great conversation, and she introduced a word to me that I absolutely loved when she said it. Well, it wasn’t actually a new word—I’ve heard it and used it countless times in my life, but I hadn’t thought about it in the context of the Authentic Life. “Mattering” “What makes us matter?” This is just another way to ask, “What is my purpose?” The answer lies within your Authentic Life. What makes us matter is how we complete the bigger picture of life—what do we bring to the world that only we can bring? What are our unique gifts and talents? Obviously, we still matter to our loved ones, friends, and those directly connected to us. We still matter as we pursue our Authentic Life and before we discover our unique gifts and talents. But what helps us figure out how we matter to new people who come into our lives is discovered by being our Authentic Self. A common word with a much deeper meaning now may be the key to discovering your Authentic Life. What makes you matter to the world—you do matter, but do you know why? See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

The more you connect with your Authentic Self, the more your unconscious becomes conscious, helping you first understand why you find your Self where you are and what is missing from your life, and allowing you to begin...
Today, I welcomed my youngest son, Silas, to join me for an episode of the AlignedLife podcast. I asked him to join me to talk about his creativity and to remind the adult listeners and viewers of the show that we were all like Silas at one point in our lives. We all created.We all created what we wanted.We followed our interests.We stopped doing what lost our interest. Having Silas join me for a podcast episode probably won't land AlignedLife at the top of Apple Podcasts, but that’s okay...
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don’t appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always...
