you get what you give


“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.”


See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

Creativity has been the unofficial fifth component of the important alignment in pursuing your authentic life: spirit, mind, body, and money AND creativity. I’ve talked about the importance of expressing your creativity, connecting to your Inner Creator (which we all have in us), and most recently, connecting how our creativity is part of what makes us unique compared to the rest of the world since the early days of these Daily Notes. In fact, the only personal restriction I’ve put on the...

“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...
