“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 |

A couple of weeks ago, I gave the sixth talk in the Keep Pursuing Series called “mind control.” It was a last-minute decision to host it in person. After May’s talk, I decided to still write the Keep Pursuing talks, but I’d perform them in my podcast studio and share the talks on YouTube and the AlignedLife podcast. At the last minute, I received some signs from the Universe that I should still give the talk in person, so I pivoted and got ready to talk in front of a group of people. The...
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti I don’t like to think of society as sick, but if I step back and look at many things today, perhaps there is a little sickness there. The amount of time spent on mobile devices. The obsession with social media. The physical health of the average American. The tribalness of the political landscape. The rise of mental health struggles, including a significant increase among the youth. The...
Often, it is through struggle that we learn and grow — or, rather, we have the opportunity to learn and grow through struggle. I’m not certain we all take advantage of this opportunity when it is presented to us. I don’t believe struggle is the only way to learn and grow, despite it being a great teacher. Before I go further, what exactly is “struggle?” One person’s struggle may be nothing to another, and one person’s nothing might be another’s struggle; it’s relative and subjective and not...
