“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 |

“Authenticity doesn’t guarantee everyone will like you. It guarantees that you will like you.” -Unknown See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
YOU.Yeah, you.You are the most important person in your life.Uncomfortable?It’s okay—truth often is.But hear this:Prioritizing you is not selfish.Dismissing your Self? That is. We’ve been taught to give,To shrink,To serve from an empty well.But you can’t pour from what you don’t have.Your peace, your joy, your health—They matter.Because you matter. So tell me…What version of your Self are you living?One you chose?Or one handed down? Did you pick your path?Or just follow the signs someone else...
“You are your own teacher. Investigate yourself to find the truth–inside, not outside. Knowing yourself is most important.” -Ajahn Chah As I prepare for tomorrow night’s Keep Pursuing Series talk, “you” I couldn’t help but smile when the Open App (the meditation app I use) shared Chah’s quote this morning–part of the talk, an important part of it, is about how all of the answers to living your authentic life are found within, not in the outside world. The outside world might play a part in...
