“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.
“Now I'm headed home, my dearAnd I brought a poem to shareAnd here's what it saidLove is a candlewick in rainAfter the storm, we're still aflame, ohI lied, love has been called a losin' gameBut the more that I love, the more I gain” -J. Cole, Ocean Way Ok, the last J. Cole quote for a while. “The more that I love, the more I gain” is the important takeaway from this one. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

Sometimes the first step of moving towards your Authentic Life is accepting where you are—your starting line. You can keep your Self stuck, playing the victim, wishing for different circumstances, or creating excuses about why you can’t move towards your Authentic Life. But the truth is, you start where you are—it’s the only place you can start. Some people have better starting lines, at least as it appears to us in the external world, but we don’t know what’s going on internally. Judging...
