play your game

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to travel to Baltimore to lead a conversation with an outstanding group of men about aligning finances with their Authentic Lives. I was encouraged by many things, but one thing that stood out to me was that most of the men had decided to define success for themselves rather than chase it as others defined it. Then I listened to a podcast for financial advisors this morning where my friend Khe Hy was a guest. He discussed with the host, another friend of mine, Dasarte Yarnway, how advisors choose the arbitrary goal of $100 million in assets under management but don’t really know why. He questioned whether an advisor would be unhappy at $97million, or what if an advisor was at $100 million but didn’t enjoy the clients they served–would they be happier at $60 million with clients they love and a business they actually want? Both the experience in Baltimore and listening to the podcast today reminded me to keep the focus of “success” on my definition–the definition that aligns with my Authentic Life. There’s no need to worry about playing someone else’s game when it’s not one you want to play–instead, your focus needs to be on playing your own game. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

Here are a handful of takeaways from the episodes–you’ll definitely want to listen to or watch the entire episode to learn more about these: Somatics is the practice of...
“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” -The Dalai Lama See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
“If I'm bettin' on myself, then I completely double down.” - J. Cole What unique gifts and talents allow you to feel like J. Cole–willing to bet on your Self and double down? And if you won't bet on your Self, who else will? Find the time, energy, and money to dedicate towards using those unique gifts and talents and more; the more you use them, the more your confidence will grow, and good things will happen.
