“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.
“For negativity to apply to our life, we must first subscribe to it and, secondly, give it the energy of belief. If we have the power to make negativity manifest in our life, obviously our mind also has the power to make the converse come true.” -Dr. David Hawkins, Letting Go See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
Yesterday in my weekly Integrated Wealth Advisor class one of our facilitators, Emi, dropped a quote that has stayed with me since the moment she said it. Before I share her words, I want to set the stage for the class and why she shared her wisdom. The focus of yesterday’s class was “Owning Your Story,” and it was led by another one of our facilitators, Michael, who works in film and TV, specializing in storytelling. We worked on breaking down the protagonist of our life’s story—our Self and...
“I don’t got no problems. Only opportunities for growth.” - J. Cole This morning, a new J. Cole single hit the streaming services—it was a feature on another artist’s album, so naturally I was all over it; OFG!” is the song's title, and it starts with J. Cole stating that he doesn’t see his Self with any problems, just opportunities to grow. I shared the song in a group text, where we often talk about growth in all aspects, but I’d say it mostly tilts towards the professional sides of our...
