“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. JC |

The people you surround your Self with have an impact on your life, and depending on whether...
Do you have trouble reaching your goals? Maybe your goals aren’t aligned with your Authentic Life? Instead of thinking you aren’t “good enough”, reevaluate the goal(s) you are pursuing and be honest with you Self whether or not they are goals you actually care about, are called to, and are aligned with your Authentic Life. Sometimes we come up short on goals because we have to try something different or work a little harder—notice I didn’t say fail because there is no such thing as failure,...
I have a confession: I skipped yoga this morning to take a power nap in my podcast studio. The last few days I’ve found my Self more tired than usual. You probably wouldn’t be able to tell if you were sitting across the table from me—I’m not moving around like a slug or appearing down, but I know how I normally feel internally, and I’m tired. And, I know exactly why my body has been telling me to rest; it’s a lag from my trip to Joshua Tree last week. But, it’s not the lag you might be...
