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. JC |

“What does violently aligned look like for you?” A good friend of mine asked me this earlier this week in reference to a Daily Note from last month, "violently aligned." I first reminded him that there isn’t a “right” way to find personal alignment—what works for me won’t work for him or anyone else, but what I do might help give some direction on where to start. I believe “violently aligned” is found in the alignment of spirit, mind, body, and money, and as I wrote in the earlier Note, the...
“Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are. We've been using them not because we needed them but because we had them.” -Seneca See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
