“People will respect you when you respect your Self.”
-Breanna Rae Blaney
Bre dropped this in my Integrated Wealth Advisor class today, and it hit hard. I haven’t had a chance to sit with it further to fully examine why it hit so hard, but I think it’s because there are some minor things I’ve been letting slide or not prioritizing that show disrespect to my Self. The funny thing is a couple of these things were on my mind and heart as I was working on creating my own Integrated Wealth Plan—specifically, my meditation practice and giving up control of my calendar to others. I would say a few months ago I wasn’t fully respecting my physical body, but I’ve since realigned my yoga, weights, and nutrition—and I can see and feel not only the physical transformation, but the increased self-respect. Why do I care if people respect me? Well, first I’m a human, and despite not wanting to care what people think, I do want to live a life that leads to earning people’s respect. But, more importantly, if I’m going to fulfill my purpose of leading the revolution of the Authentic Life, I will need the respect of those who look to me as a guide through these Daily Notes, the AlignedLife podcast, the AlignedLife blog, the AlignedLife Community, or anything else I create. By respecting my Self and Respect your Self, first for your Self—you deserve it. Respect your Self, secondly, for respect from others—especially if you find your Self in a position of leadership, influence, or guidance. This was the message I needed to hear today to stop thinking about dialing up the discipline and to do it. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

We just got back from a few days in New Buffalo, Michigan, which has become our little summer getaway, and it was another great trip—just a little shorter than we’d like, since we thought Roman would have an AAU tournament we would need to get back for that ended up not happening. Each morning before everyone would wake up, I’d break out my laptop and get some work done. I also had to make a few phone calls while walking to the beach or heading up to get some lunch, which I didn’t mind at...
If you ever find your Self “stuck” like momentum has slowed, shift your energy from your Self to others. Elevate others.Bring attention to people you care about.Support a friend’s (or stranger you admire) business.Hype someone up.Take time for a “pick-your-brain” session. Genuinely, and without any expectations, shifting your energy to others is an undefeated way to unlock your Self and to bring momentum back to your Pursuit of your Authentic Life. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
You can be having success.You can dream big.You can be confident. And you can still be playing small. The thing is, no one will know you’re limiting your Self because it’s happening within. The outside can’t see the internal dialogue or fear that is keeping you from achieving even more—fulfilling more of your Authentic Life. You might not even be aware of the internal dialogue or fear that is keeping you from achieving even more—fulfilling more of your Authentic Life. I know this because I...
