“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.
Do you have trouble reaching your goals? Maybe your goals aren’t aligned with your Authentic Life? Instead of thinking you aren’t “good enough”, reevaluate the goal(s) you are pursuing and be honest with you Self whether or not they are goals you actually care about, are called to, and are aligned with your Authentic Life. Sometimes we come up short on goals because we have to try something different or work a little harder—notice I didn’t say fail because there is no such thing as failure,...
I have a confession: I skipped yoga this morning to take a power nap in my podcast studio. The last few days I’ve found my Self more tired than usual. You probably wouldn’t be able to tell if you were sitting across the table from me—I’m not moving around like a slug or appearing down, but I know how I normally feel internally, and I’m tired. And, I know exactly why my body has been telling me to rest; it’s a lag from my trip to Joshua Tree last week. But, it’s not the lag you might be...
