“Some people are so poor, all they have is money.”
- Bob Marley
As I think about the work I am and will be doing with LifeDesign+, I believe the majority of the people I will work with will understand that while we cannot escape the need for money and that having money is not bad, it also will not lead to a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Purpose and fulfillment are found by finding, living, and evolving with your authentic life. Through personal experience and observation, I know you can have purpose, fulfillment, and money—they are not mutually exclusive. I also know you don’t have to find purpose and fulfillment first for the money to follow—although this is one way. It is also possible to accumulate money to seek purpose and fulfillment, aligning the three. There is no “right path”. The beauty of LifeDesign+ is that the relationship will allow me to meet people where they are. They can be seeking purpose and fulfillment by moving closer to their authentic lives to align and grow their finances, or they can be the version of “poor” described by Bob Marley, having the money and looking for their authentic life. I’ll be writing more and updating my website to bring more attention to LifeDesign+ (and a couple of variations—one specifically for my financial advisor peers and another to act as an outsourced life planner for financial advisor firms) now that I have confirmed that path that I am on is the right one for the present. If you find your Self seeking to find purpose and fulfillment by moving closer to your authentic life in hopes that it aligns and improves your finances, which it will, or you already have financial success but lack purpose and fulfillment, I’m only a reply to this email or DM away to chat about LifeDesign+. I’ll be here when you’re ready. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |
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.
"To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." - Buddha The idea of aligning spirit, mind, body, and money came to me–I know it was not an original thought and that it was placed inside of me to share with the world. The connection between spirit and mind and body is undeniable, and while body comes later in the alignment formula, it is no less important than spirit or mind. As Buddha taught long before I was given the gift of my...
Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, we move into the Christmas season of shopping–although many stores started their Black Friday and holiday sales well before Thanksgiving, and it’s important to remember that not only should our spending for our Selves align with our authentic lives, but so should the spending on others. This aligned spending includes dollar amounts, the things we buy, and who we buy for. In no way am I trying to be a Scrooge and tell you not to spend on your loved ones and...
This is not your typical Thanksgiving Day post, but that doesn't mean I'm not thankful for you and your support of The Daily Notes! I love writing these each day, and I would continue to do so even if no one were subscribed, but the writing is more rewarding when I see people opening the emails, sharing the posts, and responding with their own comments. So on this day of giving thanks, I want to thank you for being with me on my Pursuit of my Authentic Life, which includes these Daily Notes....
