“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 don’t know about you, but I find it crazy that we’re halfway through the year. How’s it going for you? Make sure you take time to appreciate all of the success and good you have experienced this year. It’s easy to focus on what didn’t go right and let negative thoughts and emotions prevail. The energy that you focus on will set the tone for the remainder of the year. You choose. I hope you choose to see the positive. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
“After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.” -Philip Pullman What’s the story you’re telling the world about your Self? Is it a story you’ve written or one that has been written for you? See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
“The difference between winning and losing is most often not quitting.” -Walt Disney I sometimes fear that I paint the picture of the Authentic Life as being too perfect. It’s not. Life is not perfect, no matter how aligned you are with your Authentic Self. There will be plenty of ups and downs and challenges, even if you are perfectly aligned with your Authentic Life. There will be opportunities to quit and go back to the comfort of the known life you are trying to leave behind. Not quitting...
