“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 |

Work-life balance is often unjustifiably attacked. The hustle culture crowd wants you to believe that you can’t have success professionally while having the personal life you want. They want you to believe it’s either/or and that you have to make a choice. This is false. The idea that balance has to be 50-50 is inaccurate; the greatest flaw in the work-life balance argument is the use of the word “balance.” When I think of balance, I immediately picture a balancing scale with pebbles on each...
"To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." - Buddha The idea of aligning spirit, mind, body, and money came to me–I know it was not an original thought and that it was placed inside of me to share with the world. The connection between spirit and mind and body is undeniable, and while body comes later in the alignment formula, it is no less important than spirit or mind. As Buddha taught long before I was given the gift of my...
