the Weekly Note Vol. 57


I hope you had a great week!

This week was the third talk in the Keep Pursuing Series called "unique gifts," and it was another great evening.

Speaking of Apple Podcasts and Spotify, I've made a tough decision (for me, at least) to pause the Daily Note podcast recordings.

While I enjoy recording them, the feedback I've received shows that listeners don't love the episodes. The main feedback I'm referencing is just looking at the downloads, and they have been in decline over the last few weeks.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bummed that the daily episodes didn't gain any traction, but part of the Pursuit of our authentic life is experimenting and exploring---this was an experimentation. Maybe it was just the wrong time, or maybe they were never meant to be.

Only time (and the listeners' opinions) will tell.

Ok, let's get to this week's Daily Notes...

Today's Daily Note, which you'll get in next week's Weekly Note, was about feeling your emotions, processing them, and then redirecting your feelings toward higher energy when the emotions are negative.

I wasn't thinking of this episode, but when I checked my YouTube history and saw this conversation, I smiled.

“Commitment is an act, not a word.” - Jean-Paul Sartre How many things have you said you’re committed to, but your actions don’t follow? 🙋♂️ I’m guilty. When I read this quote, I immediately felt uncomfortable because there are many things I’ve committed to, but shortly after committing, I allow my actions to drift from them I’ve made these commitments with the best intentions, yet my actions don’t always match my internal thoughts and dialogues since most of these commitments are made to my...

I was editing last week’s Keep Pursuing Series talk to get it on YouTube and the podcast players, and I kept thinking about one of the “helpful hints” I shared towards the end of the talk…look to how you can serve others to begin discovering your unique gifts and talents. I’ve written about the importance of serving others and how I think all of our authentic lives include us serving others in some capacity—it could be a career, a side hustle, a volunteer, or some other way.
