I met with my coach (I don’t love this title) Thursday, and as we reflected on some recent decisions, some of which I’ve shared in a previous note, he said something that really stood out to me. He explained how I had said a big yes to my Self earlier this week. By saying no/not now to an opportunity, I was saying yes to maintaining my desire to do what I want, when I want, and how I want. By saying no/not now, I was saying yes to being able to finally move forward along the path that was calling me. By saying no/not now, I was saying yes to ideas that will come in the future and that could not be achieved without complete independence. Saying no is hard. It’s especially hard for me because saying yes has been so good to me throughout my life. As a visual person, I often see great possibilities in most opportunities and get excited about what I believe could be. But every yes to an opportunity that is not aligned with my authentic life is a no to a future opportunity that is. JC |

With these new possibilities, you begin to see new versions of your Self, which are waiting for you to explore. This is why your authentic life is an evolution.You...
Love. Love is the answer. We enter this world in a natural state of love – it’s all we know how to do; just watch a group of young kids play. It doesn’t matter what the other kids look like, what belief system their family has, where they came from, or what sports team their parents root for. None of that matters because they don’t see any differences–they just see another human being because they are operating from a place of love. Read any book on consciousness, and love is one of the...
“As soon as we become aware of money, we develop beliefs about it, beliefs we cling to, sometimes for the rest of our lives, often at the cost of our souls.”-George Kinder It might seem extreme to say that your beliefs about money, especially those that you developed without being aware of, can cost you your soul, but if you think about it, it’s true.If your beliefs about money prevent you from becoming the person you were created to be by keeping you in relationships, careers, and living a...
