you are the light


“You are the light.
It’s not on you.
It’s in you.
Don’t ever you in your life, dim your light for nobody.”
- St. Chroma, Tyler, the Creator

Tyler, the Creator’s new album starts with this message from his mother, who acts as his guide throughout the album.

It’s an excellent message for all of us to remember because maybe we’re in a position where light seems to be shining on us, or we’re chasing others who we think have light shining on them. 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.


See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

“No one in the world is going to beat you at being you.” - Naval I would like to submit one edit to this Naval quote: “No one in the world is going to beat you at being the Authentic You.” Plenty of people will beat you at being the inauthentic you. As long as you're trying to be someone you’re not, others will stand out because they are being their Authentic Self—someone who cannot be beaten. Be your Authentic Self and become the best in the world—at being YOU. See you tomorrow and keep...

I met with one of my favorite clients today, and toward the end of our meeting, I shared that I had reflected on the journey we had been on together over the years, and it made me happy. I encouraged her to reflect on all the changes she navigated, the goals she has achieved, and how much happier she is now despite the uncertainty, unknowns, and fear she had to overcome along the way. Everything worked out, right when it was supposed to. It may not have always seemed like it in the moment,...
