“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 |

Don’t delay because you don’t know when you’ll run out of time. No one knows when their last day will be, and you...
This week, I finally got to see The Odyssey downtown at the Indiana State Museum in 70mm (the largest screen), and as I expected, I loved it—Christopher Nolan is my favorite director, so I went in expecting to. I’m going to see it again Monday evening with a couple of friends, and I’m looking forward to seeing what I might have missed the first time around. Instagram must have picked up on me seeing the movie because it started feeding me tons of Odyssey content. One of the posts really...
Not too long, I wrote about your Authentic Life requiring you to be irrational. Another word that has come up in the last few weeks, and that I keep thinking about, is delusion. I consider irrational and delusional to be synonyms, but I really think delusional is one more step further away from “normal” than irrational. I also think delusion requires a level of conviction and belief that doesn’t show up in irrational. Maybe belief is what takes something from irrational to delusional. I’ve...
