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

And thanks to a beautiful weekend that let me spend a lot of time outside in the sun, I'm expecting this upcoming week to be more of the same. I hope the high energy I'm operating from has found you as...

I have had the opportunity to spend a good amount of time outside over the past two days. Yesterday, it was spent watching Silas play soccer, cleaning the pool cover, getting everything ready for opening it in a couple of weeks, and just being outside to be outside. Today, it’s been sitting outside working on some writing while Roman has basketball practice. I find it much easier to silence the call to pick up my phone and scroll or waste time when I’m outside. I don’t even think about it...

How well do you understand your relationship with money? Money is probably something that you think about often, but at the same time don’t REALLY think about. What I mean is that you probably think about day-to-day spending, maybe your savings and investing, and most certainly whether you feel you have enough. And those things are important to consider, but your relationship with money is even more important to understand. The relationship you have and the stories you tell your Self about...
