saying yes to your Self
|
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 |

It had to be earned, over and over again. This, of course, is a false belief, but it’s one thing to know it and a whole other thing to understand it.” -Lawrence Yeo, The Inner...
A couple of weeks ago, I gave the sixth talk in the Keep Pursuing Series called “mind control.” It was a last-minute decision to host it in person. After May’s talk, I decided to still write the Keep Pursuing talks, but I’d perform them in my podcast studio and share the talks on YouTube and the AlignedLife podcast. At the last minute, I received some signs from the Universe that I should still give the talk in person, so I pivoted and got ready to talk in front of a group of people. The...
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti I don’t like to think of society as sick, but if I step back and look at many things today, perhaps there is a little sickness there. The amount of time spent on mobile devices. The obsession with social media. The physical health of the average American. The tribalness of the political landscape. The rise of mental health struggles, including a significant increase among the youth. The...
