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

Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always...

I hope you had a great weekend; if you're here in the States (so cool that this is an international publication now) I hope you had a safe and family-filled Fourth of July holiday weekend. Ours was very low-key. Tons of time in the pool. World Cup on the TV or iPad to watch outside.Cooking out.And sadly, the boys were off doing their own things — Leo at Indiana University for soccer camp, Roman hanging out with his friends, and Silas even bailed on us for a few hours on the Fourth to be with...

I have a pretty extensive library of books—more books than I care to admit. The majority of the books are “business” books, and very few would be considered pleasure reading. I mean, I enjoy reading them, but most people don’t find finance, spirituality, mindset, religion, and other books that have helped me develop my understanding of the Authentic Life. I wanted to start a book that was purely for pleasure this holiday weekend. There wasn’t anything in my library that fit what I was looking...
