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,

How many times do you hold back from telling someone what you’re really excited about? This morning I ran into an old CrossFit buddy at the coffee shop, and we got to talking about life, what we’re up to, and the opportunity to talk about my creative work naturally presented itself. I told him about the writing I’m doing on my AlignedLife blog for my first book, looking at money as a form of energy. I shared the concept in my latest post, The Velocity of Money, how I’m meeting with Sarah...

Who you choose to align your Authentic Life with is one of the most important decisions you will make, and it’s a decision most of us make way before we discover who we really are. Today, Ang and I celebrate twenty years of being married. As I’ve reflected over those years, and the two and a half years of dating before, I see yet another breadcrumb in my life—an important and big one. As with most things in life, so many things had to line up for Ang and I to meet—my choice to go to Franklin...
