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 |

“Authenticity doesn’t guarantee everyone will like you. It guarantees that you will like you.” -Unknown See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
YOU.Yeah, you.You are the most important person in your life.Uncomfortable?It’s okay—truth often is.But hear this:Prioritizing you is not selfish.Dismissing your Self? That is. We’ve been taught to give,To shrink,To serve from an empty well.But you can’t pour from what you don’t have.Your peace, your joy, your health—They matter.Because you matter. So tell me…What version of your Self are you living?One you chose?Or one handed down? Did you pick your path?Or just follow the signs someone else...
“You are your own teacher. Investigate yourself to find the truth–inside, not outside. Knowing yourself is most important.” -Ajahn Chah As I prepare for tomorrow night’s Keep Pursuing Series talk, “you” I couldn’t help but smile when the Open App (the meditation app I use) shared Chah’s quote this morning–part of the talk, an important part of it, is about how all of the answers to living your authentic life are found within, not in the outside world. The outside world might play a part in...
