to become who you want to be


Before you can become the version of your Self you desire, you have to first believe you are already that person.

At a minimum, you have to believe you are capable of becoming that person, but truthfully, I don’t think that is strong enough. I think you need to actually believe that you are the version of your Self you are before you actually see it.

Once you believe, you will naturally begin to draw on that future version of your Self, feeling as you would, doing what you would, and internally transforming into that version of your Self.

In time, the world will see you as you see your Self—another example of “as within, so without.”

As with many Daily Notes, today’s is a reminder to my Self as I begin a focus on transforming my physical body and embodying the future version of my Self who is on the cover of Men’s Health for an article about the alignment of spirit, mind, body, and money.

I am him.

And soon you will see him as well.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

I think I like discomfort because in my mind, discomfort arrives before pain and fear. And rather than wait until I’m in pain or fear is a prominent emotion, I’d rather listen to...

This afternoon, Roman and I headed to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to return home after a weekend of AAU basketball. We walked into complete chaos in the TSA area—it looked like we had gone back a few months to the government shutdown. We were a couple of hours early, but I was nervous that we wouldn’t make it through the line before getting Roman to his gate (more on our separate flights in a moment). The lines weaved without much organization. After getting his boarding pass, we...

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” - Anais Nin You’ll have to take my word for it, but your courage grows exponentially the closer you move to your Authentic Life, which is important because you will need courage to live it. Courage is the ability to act when you don’t know—when you’re stepping into the unknown. Living your Authentic Life will present numerous opportunities to step into the unknown, led by your intuition and your heart. Without courage, you will find...
