nature's pace


“Adapt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

As you begin to see and feel the effects of aligning your spirit, mind, and body, it is very easy to want to rush toward the future version of your Self you have been working towards.

While our thoughts, beliefs, and actions can move us toward the person and life we desire, I am not sure yet if we can dictate the speed at which that evolution occurs.

As Emerson suggests, patience is nature's secret to evolution, and we can see how nature has perfectly evolved over thousands of years.

Not only has nature proven to us that patience is the way, but in patience, we maintain the ability to remain present and enjoy evolution to the life and version of our Selves we seek.

A final and friendly reminder to my friends in or near Fishers: tonight at 7:00 is the third talk in the Keep Pursuing Series, "unique gifts". There is still room if you'd like to attend- just hit reply, and I'll share all of the details. If you can't make it or are not local, I'll be working diligently to get the replay AND the worksheet we'll be using ready for this week's Weekly Note, which is only available via email if you're a LinkedIn subscriber.

🎧 Listen to today's Note on the LifeDesign+ podcast. (I'll be recording the last few episodes today and catching up on the Daily Note podcast).

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

“Commitment is an act, not a word.” - Jean-Paul Sartre How many things have you said you’re committed to, but your actions don’t follow? 🙋♂️ I’m guilty. When I read this quote, I immediately felt uncomfortable because there are many things I’ve committed to, but shortly after committing, I allow my actions to drift from them I’ve made these commitments with the best intentions, yet my actions don’t always match my internal thoughts and dialogues since most of these commitments are made to my...

I was editing last week’s Keep Pursuing Series talk to get it on YouTube and the podcast players, and I kept thinking about one of the “helpful hints” I shared towards the end of the talk…look to how you can serve others to begin discovering your unique gifts and talents. I’ve written about the importance of serving others and how I think all of our authentic lives include us serving others in some capacity—it could be a career, a side hustle, a volunteer, or some other way. Given that we are...
