“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.
This afternoon, Roman and I headed to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to return home after a weekend of AAU basketball. We walked into complete chaos in the TSA area—it looked like we had gone back a few months to the government shutdown. We were a couple of hours early, but I was nervous that we wouldn’t make it through the line before getting Roman to his gate (more on our separate flights in a moment). The lines weaved without much organization. After getting his boarding pass, we...
“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” - Anais Nin You’ll have to take my word for it, but your courage grows exponentially the closer you move to your Authentic Life, which is important because you will need courage to live it. Courage is the ability to act when you don’t know—when you’re stepping into the unknown. Living your Authentic Life will present numerous opportunities to step into the unknown, led by your intuition and your heart. Without courage, you will find...
