Last week, I submitted my chapter for the second edition of More Than Money, a book that the community for financial advisors I co-founded (The AGC™) first wrote a couple of years ago.

My chapter is in the section that addresses how money can help us achieve our dreams.

I chose to share my client's story because it highlights a journey where the ultimate dream he and his family are pursuing could not have been known without first experiencing the career and life he has had up until the last couple of years. It is a perfect example of our evolution as individuals and our life experiences, we can discover and move closer to our authentic lives.

I won’t ruin the story–you’ll have to order a copy of More Than Money Vol. 2 when it is ready next year, but I can share one of the important messages…

It is highly unlikely that you will enter adulthood knowing your authentic Self and life; it’s possible, but in the current system, we are not given the information, tools, resources, or even the awareness to seek our authentic lives (I hope over time I make a small dent in this).

But, that doesn’t mean you are destined to stay on the path you started on.

Like my client, if you can develop a strong sense of self-awareness, the honesty to be true to your Self, the confidence to follow your intuition, and find a partner to help you design a plan to move closer to your authentic life, you will have the opportunity to take back control of your life’s path.

For most of us, the discovery of our authentic Self and life can only happen after we’ve traveled down the wrong path and have experienced enough of it to realize it is no longer the right one for us.

When this happens, I hope you can find your way to your right path.

​

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
