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 |

I’ve never been to an AA meeting, but on various podcasts, I’ve heard plenty about the 12 Steps that have been so successful in helping people struggling with addiction find their way to sobriety. I’ve noticed how many of these steps are applicable outside of fighting an addiction. For the last week, anytime I’ve been in the car with Roman, I’ve had George Mumford’s Unlocked playing on Spotify; I’m determined to help the boys master their minds and begin to see the benefits of meditation.

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you have will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not have within you will kill you." -Jesus, Verse 70, Gospel of Thomas Allow me to share my interpretation of this quote from Jesus. “what is within you” = your Authentic Self. “what you do not have within you” = inauthenticity. “kill you” = not literal, although possible, keep you from enjoying life to its fullest. Discontentment, frustration, unhappiness, regret,...
I hope you had a great weekend! We had a busy weekend of family sports and NCAA March Madness, so apologies for sending this out Monday morning. Before we get to this week's Note, I wanted to share a post I discovered on Instagram and read on Substack. It's called "I Quit" and I see it as a sign that more people are shifting towards living their Authentic Lives. "I Quit" by Hezekiah I also thought I'd share this post from my friend Tom Morgan about the importance of Community and how he sees...
