the authentic life manifesto v.2
|
I’ve been working on writing a manifesto for the authentic life and have been using ChatGPT to help me get started. I posted v.1 of a manifesto on social media last week, and here is v.2, which was created using the GPT I’m training using my Daily Notes, AlignedLife Podcast, and transcripts from talks and videos. When I finalize the manifesto, it will differ from the ChatGPT versions, but they have given me great starts to work with. The Authentic Life Manifesto “We believe life is meant to be lived—not endured, not merely survived, but fully embraced with intention and love.
We believe the answers to our deepest questions—of purpose, of fulfillment, of peace—are not found in the noise of the world but in the stillness of the soul. The authentic life is not a destination to arrive at. It is a sacred pursuit, a daily unfolding, a becoming.
We value:
Spirit: A deep, quiet trust in the invisible hands guiding us—through signs, synchronicities, and whispers of intuition. We honor the Divine within and beyond us.
Mind: A mindset shaped by curiosity, clarity, and courage. We commit to think for ourselves, to unlearn the lies we've inherited, and to embrace the thoughts that liberate us.
Body: A vessel of wisdom, deserving of movement, nourishment, and rest. We listen to what it needs—respectfully, reverently.
Money: A tool, not a tyrant. Aligned finances are not about accumulation but expression—of values, of freedom, of legacy.
We believe:
Creativity is not optional—it is essential. It is the divine spark in motion. Every one of us is an artist of existence.
Love is the universal language. We choose it over fear, over judgment, over convenience.
Our unique gifts were not meant to be hoarded—they are keys to the service of others.
What we seek is also seeking us. The arrow finds the target that is ready.
Alignment precedes achievement. When we live in integrity with our truest Self, life flows—not without challenge, but with clarity.
We commit to:
Pursue, always. Never perfectly. But faithfully.
Write down our dreams and whisper them to the stars.
Leap before we're ready, trusting that wings appear mid-air.
Become the person worthy of the life we envision.
Let go of what no longer serves—roles, routines, relationships, and reasons.
We are not chasing perfection. We are choosing truth.
We are not following a path. We are walking our own, with bare feet and bold hearts.
This is the Authentic Life.
This is our manifesto.
Keep pursuing.”
Like I said, not a bad start. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

For the last ten years, I’ve followed where my heart has directed me, and there was a period where it looked like I was all over the place, trying new things, sharing my explorations publicly, and pivoting without any second thought. I’m not sure where I gained the confidence to follow where my heart was leading me, other than the energy I felt once I started following my passions, and experiencing different versions of my Self was unlike anything I had felt before. I knew most of the...
