“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.
Yesterday, I was talking with a friend, discussing the momentum from 2025 and my current embodiment, and sharing my vision for the end of 2026; towards the end of our conversation, she asked me what could get in the way of everything coming to fruition this year. I sat for a moment. The answer came to me loud and clear. “My Self.” The only way my vision board for the year doesn’t become my reality is if I get in the way. Allowing my Self to fall out of alignment.Allowing my Self to get...
“The search for meaning is only valid if you’re willing to take action with what you find.” - Paul Rosolie I’ve recently gone down the Paul Rosolie rabbit hole thanks to his recent podcast appearances on Modern Wisdom and The Diary of a CEO. If you haven’t heard of Paul before, I highly recommend checking out one of the episodes, and I’m going to recommend his new book even though my copy hasn’t even arrived yet. Paul’s purpose in life is to save the Amazon, and he committed himself to this...
Yesterday, I received a prototype of a t-shirt I want to make for the PRST brand, which sparked a cool back-and-forth with a friend on LinkedIn. The shirt, still in development mode since I don’t like the style of t-shirt it was printed on, was inspired by a shirt from the brand 247. 247 is the athletic-wear division of the Represent brand, and in many of the vlogs on the Represent and its co-founder George Heaton’s YouTube channels, you will see a black t-shirt with small holes and tears...
