“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.
Show up every day for YOU. Don’t confuse this permission to exhibit main character energy—thinking that you are the only person that matters in this world. That’s not what I’m encouraging. By showing up each day for your Self, it doesn’t mean that other people in your life don’t matter. It means that your purpose, your priorities, your values, and what you do each day are aligned with your Authentic Life. You wake up each day excited to be the best version of your Self that day—which may not...
What are you holding on to that just seems to stay out of your reach? It’s possible that you don’t need to work or try harder, but less. I know it goes against what feels natural, that we need to work harder, but sometimes the extra effort pushes it away. Surrender your attachment to the thing just out of your reach. When you release the attachment you have, it somehow frees up the space for you to finally receive it. I can’t tell you how it works. Give it a try. Worst-case scenario is you...
“Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.” -Lao Tzu See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
