the influences in your life
|
Earlier this week, my appearance on Julia Duthie’s podcast People Are Everything dropped, and I listened to it in its entirety, which I think is the first time I’ve ever listened to a whole podcast episode that I’ve been a part of. And I’m really happy with how it turned out. If you’ve never listened to Julia’s podcast, I highly recommend it, and I also recommend thinking about the question she asks every guest. Each episode, Julia guides her guest through a conversation that explores the five people who have had the greatest influence on them. You’d think it’d be easy to find five people, but if you’re lucky like me, you’ll have more than five, and it might be hard to narrow it down to just five. Last week, I was able to return the favor and have Julia on the AlignedLife Podcast, and before we started recording, I shared with her that the question was still sitting with me, but from a different perspective. Instead of rethinking my five or coming up with my next five, I’ve been thinking about how I can live my life to be included in more than one person’s list of the five, and even more lists if people extended their list to ten influential people. So, give it some thought–who are five people who have made a significant impact on your life? Shoot them a text. And also give some thought to how you can live your life to make a few people’s list. While you think about these, you can hear about my five: See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

“Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings. When we are tired and...
“I can complain because rosebushes have thorns or rejoice because thornbushes have roses.” -Sir John Templeton Perspective is powerful. Just like in Templeton’s example, nearly every situation you will find your Self in, you will have the opportunity to see thorns on a rosebush or roses on a thornbush. It’s your choice—which will you choose? See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” -William Butler Yeats One of the coolest things about sharing my stories of my bald eagle encounters, a whiptail lizard encounter after a breathwork session, and other winks from the Universe and synchronicities is getting messages from others about their own–I can’t count how many text messages and DMs I’ve gotten of pictures of bald eagles.I love receiving these messages because they show me that those...
