“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.
You probably know the old proverb, “Curiosity killed the cat.” I’m sure at some point in your life, someone has recited that to you in order to keep you from exploring your curiosity. But did you know that the cat’s “death” is only half the actual saying? The second part says, “but satisfaction brought it back,” which suggests that the result of the curiosity was worth the risk. It’s interesting that society has chosen to leave out the proverb's positive aspect and has allowed it to become a...

“Doing your best is taking the action because you love it, not because you’re expecting a reward.” - Don Miguel Ruiz The more pure the intention, the closer to coming from a state of love, the more genuine the action, the more likely the Divine will reward you with what you need, right when you need it. Do without expectation of anything in return, and you might find your Self receiving more than you could have ever imagined. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
