“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.”
- Jim Carrey
For those of us who are not rich and famous in the traditional sense, reading comments like Carrey’s often leads to a “yeah, right” response. But Carrey isn’t the first to suggest that the answer to life’s most significant question, “What’s my purpose?” is never found in fame and riches, despite what most people believe. So, if riches and fame aren’t the answer, what is? There isn’t a Universal “right” answer. The answer is different for each of us, and I believe it can be found in living our authentic lives. Connect with your authentic Self. I know it’s not as easy as I’ve just written, but it’s also not as complicated as most of us make it. Don’t look to the outside world to find your “answer”--it lies within YOU. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

I thought I’d share it here because, as you’ll see, I’m going to be dropping off social media for the next month or so. Since I interact with some of you on...
All of the planning in the world will never bring you the “perfect” time to take a risk, change course, or try something new. The fear of failure, being wrong, change, and countless other outcomes or emotions have kept and continue to keep people from taking action to move closer to their authentic Self and life. I’ve been a financial advisor for over twenty years, lived for over forty-three years, and consulted with other financial advisors for almost ten years. I can promise you there will...
Yesterday, a friend sent me a text with a screenshot of an email he sent his Self a year ago. The email had a list of goals and questions he contemplated at the time that supported those goals. Each of his goals came true over the last year–none were numbers-focused; they were quality-of-life-focused. He and I had enough conversations over the year that I knew he wasn’t looking at these goals daily. They were set, his focus was on the direction in which he would find his new lifestyle, and...
