“You are sought after if you reflect love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control”
- John Marks Templeton, Week Two, Law A
As I read today’s passage in Templeton’s Discovering The Laws of Life, I couldn’t help but see connections between Week Two, Law A’s message, and some of my recent Notes. It’s funny how the Universe pulls me towards these passages to share in my Notes; I decided today that I’d check out Discovering The Laws of Life, and instead of starting at the beginning, I’d go to the passage that was for today. I had not read the passage before, so the connection to my recent Notes was genuine and not influenced by Templeton’s works. I pulled a few more quotes to share and will allow them to speak to you without my commentary; if you’d like, you should check out today’s episode to hear more about what I think about the quotes on the LifeDesign+ podcast, which should be on your favorite podcast player shortly.
“One lesson worth learning early is that life gives back to us what we give to it. St Paul’s formula will help us give our best to the world and in the process gain friends and influence in the world around us.” “We can’t reflect something unless it’s within us to reflect.” “They will seek our company because of the comfort, companionship, friendship, and love they experience with us. And we will find we are our own best friend because those same qualities help us to love ourselves. They help us to be at peace with ourselves, to have more patience and joy in our hearts. We will learn how to treat ourselves with kindness, goodness, faithfulness and gentleness. We will give to life what we seek from life and we will be rewarded with the greatest treasure–wholeness of life.” JC |

“Commitment is an act, not a word.” - Jean-Paul Sartre How many things have you said you’re committed to, but your actions don’t follow? 🙋♂️ I’m guilty. When I read this quote, I immediately felt uncomfortable because there are many things I’ve committed to, but shortly after committing, I allow my actions to drift from them I’ve made these commitments with the best intentions, yet my actions don’t always match my internal thoughts and dialogues since most of these commitments are made to my...
I was editing last week’s Keep Pursuing Series talk to get it on YouTube and the podcast players, and I kept thinking about one of the “helpful hints” I shared towards the end of the talk…look to how you can serve others to begin discovering your unique gifts and talents. I’ve written about the importance of serving others and how I think all of our authentic lives include us serving others in some capacity—it could be a career, a side hustle, a volunteer, or some other way. Given that we are...
I hope you had a great week! This week was the third talk in the Keep Pursuing Series called "unique gifts," and it was another great evening. You can catch the replay on YouTube or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Speaking of Apple Podcasts and Spotify, I've made a tough decision (for me, at least) to pause the Daily Note podcast recordings. While I enjoy recording them, the feedback I've received shows that listeners don't love the episodes. The main feedback I'm referencing is just looking at...
