“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.
“I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” - Henry David Thoreau Keep pursuing your Authentic Life. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
“What you resist persists.” - Carl Jung You can resist your Authentic Life, but it will persist and continue to call out. Denying your Self the opportunity to live your Authentic Life is one way to guarantee regret later in life. And, as Bronnie Ware has noted, the resistance to your Authentic Life is one of the biggest regrets of the dying. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
I hope you're having a great Monday this Memorial Day! This week's Weekly Note is coming to you a day late because I chose to spend Sunday being a true Hoosier — watching and listening to the Indianapolis 500. We spent the day in and out of the pool, cooking out, working out, and sitting under the stars. If you are a longtime Weekly Note subscriber, you know that I have no problem sending the Note a day late or even missing a week. I know this is not what writers are supposed to do. But I...
