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.
"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 |

This week, I finally got to see The Odyssey downtown at the Indiana State Museum in 70mm (the largest screen), and as I expected, I loved it—Christopher Nolan is my favorite director, so I went in expecting to. I’m going to see it again Monday evening with a couple of friends, and I’m looking forward to seeing what I might have missed the first time around. Instagram must have picked up on me seeing the movie because it started feeding me tons of Odyssey content. One of the posts really...
Not too long, I wrote about your Authentic Life requiring you to be irrational. Another word that has come up in the last few weeks, and that I keep thinking about, is delusion. I consider irrational and delusional to be synonyms, but I really think delusional is one more step further away from “normal” than irrational. I also think delusion requires a level of conviction and belief that doesn’t show up in irrational. Maybe belief is what takes something from irrational to delusional. I’ve...
"Maybe it's time to count NOT how many steps we took or how many calories we consumed, but how many sunsets we experienced with our spouse, how many times we felt goosebumps during a deep conversation with our best friend, or how many times we smiled at a stranger?" -Chip Conley What would you add to the list Chip started?
