I'm on a mission to help more people find and live their authentic life. Check out my Daily Notes where I write a short note each day about the connection of spirit, mind, body and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life.
seek your answers within
|
I find my Self coming back to an idea that I don’t remember when I was first told it or first read it and believed it; the idea, which has become a truth for me, is that all of the answers you seek around your authentic life—your purpose, your gifts and talents, where you happiness lies, etc—all lies within you. We’ve been taught to seek these answers in the outside world, which leads us to expect to find these important answers in money, titles, material possessions, opinions of others, and more empty ways. Eventually, most of us come to realize that the outside world provides very few of the answers we seek—it can give us feedback and confirmations from the Universe to help us as we find our answers within, but we’ll never find the answers that will lead to living an authentic life outside. I know you cannot be forced to understand this, as it’s something you have to experience and understand for your Self. My hope is that these Notes, the quotes I share like the ones below, the LifeDesign+ podcast, and my other creative endeavors might help you realize this sooner than you would on your own and begin to look within. And if I’m lucky, maybe I’ll get to help you discover those answers as a guide with LifeDesign+ or AlignedLife+. If you haven’t discovered that the answers you seek to find and live your authentic life are waiting for you to discover within, here are a few quotes that have been around for a very long time–this is not new information–that might stick with you
“All the wonders you seek are within yourself.”
– Thomas Browne
“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
– Carl Jung
“Your real self may be hiding somewhere, look for it within, when you find yourself, you can freely be what you want to be.”
– Michael Bassey Johnson
“Remember, all the answers you need are inside of you; you only have to become quiet enough to hear them.”
- Debbie Ford
“The inspiration you seek is already within you.”
- Rumi
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

This morning, as I was walking out of the gym, I had a thought cross my mind that I wanted to explore further in today’s Note. Today was my first morning working out with my friend, who is now also my trainer, Franqlin. I’ve been working out sporadically at home and still doing yoga when the summer mornings allow it; I wouldn’t say I’ve lost my discipline, but I’m not getting the physical workouts I want in, and I know it’s because working out alone by my Self is not the way for me. I need to...
I hope you had a great weekend---ours was busy with an AAU tournament, which is why you're getting this Monday morning. Usually, I can get work done between games, but this weekend I didn't have a strong enough signal in the gym to work online. I'll keep the intro short since I know you've already kicked off your week and are in your daily routine.

“I’ve realized for some reason, God placed the most beautiful things in life on the other side of our worst terrors…you must make a conscious effort to attack all the things you are scared of…that is how you get to experience the best things life has to offer.” - Will Smith It’s counterintuitive, but follow fear. And not just fear, but discomfort, nervousness, and doubt. When you do this enough, you will become excited when these emotions show up—it may not make it any easier to take the...
