“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.
“When you can see the greatness in others, that means you can see the greatness in your Self.” -George Mumford If you’re having trouble finding confidence in your Self, try to finding confidence in others by seeing the greatness in them. By identifying the greatness in others, it might be the shift in perspective that you need to find the greatness in your Self. I’ve stated many times and still subscribe to the concept that the world is a mirror of your internal state, which would make you...
I hope you had a great weekend! Last week's Note had a lot of content to catch you up on; this week's it's just the Notes and an episode of AlignedLife. There will be another great episode of AlignedLife this week, I'm working on an AlignedLife blog post, and I MIGHT have the video from my Baltimore trip complete as well. This weekend, I started a new approach to how we handle our family finances--I'm not only trying to make sure we allocate our resources as a family in alignment with our...
Living your Authentic Life and being true to your Self does not mean you won’t choose to do things that aren’t necessarily aligned. For example, your spouse may be into an activity that you aren’t–one that you would never choose to do on your own. However, because you are a supportive spouse and enjoy spending time with her, you choose to attend the activity. Doing something you don’t like doesn’t mean you’re being inauthentic. In fact, doing something you don’t like for your spouse is being...
