We need to remember that the light is within us, so we don’t need to ever worry about losing it or needing to chase it—it’s already here. We just need to find it within and let it shine. JC |

It measures how quickly money moves through the economy—how many times a dollar exchanges hands in a given year. A...
Another short and sweet intro--I had planned to write a little update on some things I've been working on, like the AlignedLife Community, which is going to be pushing the Founding Member sign-up to January instead of next month. Ang and I spent too much time living this summer and not enough time setting up Circle, so instead of rushing the opening, we decided to start in the new year. More to come, like dates for a few information sessions we're going to hold and insight into what is...
“Don’t follow your passion. Follow your talent and find your purpose.” -Adam Grant Usually, when I share a quote to start a Daily Note, it’s because I like it, agree with it, or think it might speak to you. This is not one of those quotes. This quote triggers me because I think it leads more people further from their Authentic Life than it helps. I think this quote, which I saw on Twitter, can become so influential because of who said it. Adam Grant is an extremely successful author and an...
