“You are the light.
It’s not on you.

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 |

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” - Carl Jung For many, the Pursuit of the Authentic Life requires deep introspection to discover what lives in the subconscious and has been writing the script for their lives. The more you connect with your Authentic Self, the more your unconscious becomes conscious, helping you first understand why you find your Self where you are and what is missing from your life, and allowing you to begin...
Today, I welcomed my youngest son, Silas, to join me for an episode of the AlignedLife podcast. I asked him to join me to talk about his creativity and to remind the adult listeners and viewers of the show that we were all like Silas at one point in our lives. We all created.We all created what we wanted.We followed our interests.We stopped doing what lost our interest. Having Silas join me for a podcast episode probably won't land AlignedLife at the top of Apple Podcasts, but that’s okay...
