No, that’s not a typo in the title. It might be Christmas Eve, but I’m not talking about presents…I’m talking about presence. The holiday season is upon us, which hopefully means more time with family, friends, and other loved ones. While exchanging gifts and presents, don’t forget that the greatest gift you can give someone is your presence–being there with them in the moment without distraction. I’m guilty of not always being present in family settings…scrolling my phone while being semi-present to the conversations and people in the room. It’s not something I’m proud of, but now that I am more aware of it, I can do something about it. And what better time than Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with my in-laws? I’m sure the sweater, shoes, or V-bucks you bought will be well received and appreciated, but I know your attention and presence will be appreciated even more. Over the next few days, give the greatest gift you can and be present with the loved ones in your life. JC |

It’s probably harder than ever to settle into the present, but it might be even more important than ever....
I wanted to use today’s Note to share the full essay from issue 003 of 12:24, which dropped today. I’ve mentioned it before, but in case you forgot or are new to the Daily Notes, I recently started a twice-a-month newsletter for athletes called 12:24. While the essays are written for athletes, they really are applicable to everyone—especially today’s issue. I’m sure many of you have athletes in your family or know someone you care about, and I wanted you to see the quality and intention I’m...
“A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.” - Paulo Coelho If you’re looking for inspiration to find your Authentic Self, look to the children in your life. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
