“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.
How well do you understand your relationship with money? Money is probably something that you think about often, but at the same time don’t REALLY think about. What I mean is that you probably think about day-to-day spending, maybe your savings and investing, and most certainly whether you feel you have enough. And those things are important to consider, but your relationship with money is even more important to understand. The relationship you have and the stories you tell your Self about...
“Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.” - Roy T. Bennett Notice how our fears live in the mind and our dreams live in our heart, at least according to Bennett. This is because the heart is your connection to your Creator, and it is through our heart—through our passions—that we are guided towards our Authentic Life. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
Yesterday’s missed Note was not intentional. I was reminded of just how reliant we are on technology, specifically the internet. We were without internet for most of the day, which kept me from doing much of the work I needed to, including writing a Daily Note. Once our service came back, I prioritized a new show on the AlignedLife podcast that I was really excited to get out yesterday—I needed to download, edit, upload, write copy, and post the episode on my website; it’s a lot of work...
