"some people are so poor, all they have is money"

“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 |

“Do you know what it means to learn? When you are really learning, you are learning throughout your life and there is no one special teacher to learn from. Then everything teaches you–a dead leaf, a bird in flight, a smell, a tear, the rich and the poor, those who are crying, the smile of a woman, the haughtiness of a man. You learn from everything, therefore there is no guide, no philosopher, no guru. Life itself is your teacher, and you are in a state of constant learning.” -J. Krishnamurti...
“Here’s the thing. Throughout most of my youth and early adulthood, I believed the external achievements would alleviate my inner turmoils. If I wasn’t at peace, I figured that there was some ambition I needed to actualize, or some milestone I had to reach to justify a period of ease. In my mind, peace was not a given. 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...
