“Each of us is born with the freedom to choose the thoughts that will direct our lives. We choose the path we want to walk down. We have the power to choose what we wish to carry along the way. With that in mind, it would seem to make good sense to choose thoughts that will form positive attitudes and that stress our unlimited potential. Negative thoughts and attitudes weigh us down; they make our journey through life so much more difficult. Every thought we allow into our mind affects the thoughts, feelings, and actions we express. If we hold negative thoughts, our actions are going to be negative, and, in turn, negative results will be returned to us. However, positive thoughts return positive results and life becomes a happy, motivating adventure in which we see ourselves and all others in the true light of what we really are. We suddenly see that each of us is a wonderful, magical, mysterious expression of life. As long as our thoughts remain positive and are grounded in accomplishing the goal in front of us, the progress we make on the path of life will be steady and rewarding.”
- Sir John Templeton, Discovering The Laws of Life (Week 33, Law D)
I hope you choose to continue down the path of positivity, opportunity, and abundance---regardless of outcomes. I’ve said this before, but Templeton was writing about the importance of spirit, mind, body, and money a long time ago—it’s still a mystery to me why no one in finance references his work, his writing never turned up outside of my reading in finance, and that I happened to stumble upon his writings on the Laws of Life. I love reading his work because it gives me more confidence I'm on to something important and meaningful. 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.
I hope you had a great weekend! I apologize for getting this week's Weekly Note out on Monday instead of Sunday, but yesterday was such a beautiful day that I chose to spend it outside and take a quick trip to our local community center to work out with Roman and shoot a little hoops with Silas. I hope the delayed Weekly Note serves as a reminder to prioritize what most aligns with your Authentic Life — the Weekly Note is aligned, but it's not as important as family time in the sun or taking...
Who does your calendar show you are? Does how you spend your time align with your Authentic Life? An exercise I’m currently working on is revisiting my ideal day and my realistic ideal day–there’s a subtle difference between the two. My ideal day consists of how I’d structure my day if there were no “buts.” For example, yoga every day at 7:00, BUT that’s in the middle of the morning routine with the boys. I think it’s important to know what my ideal day would look like, even if it’s not...
“Everything is energy, and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want, and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” -Albert Einstein The vision of your Authentic Life–match the frequency. The financial life you desire for your Authentic Life–match the frequency. The impact you want to have in the world–match the frequency. Like you would turn the dial on the radio to tune into the station you desired,...
