“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 |

“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.” - Mahatma Gandhi I often think about my messaging around the authentic life and worry that it comes across as if living your authentic life will protect you from adversity, challenges, and, as Gandhi notes, conflict because it won’t. Part of the human experience is navigating life’s challenges, and, as you probably have discovered or at least are beginning to understand, it’s through these challenges, both big and small,...
Happy New Year!! I hope you are having a great start to the new year!! We rang in 2025 in Jamaica for what I believe will be our last warm weather New Year's Eve for a while; Roman will be in high school next year, and his basketball schedule will inevitably prevent us from escaping to the warmth for the end of the year. Our end-of-the-year trip is my favorite trip because I can fully enjoy the warm weather, being in the sun, the sounds of the ocean, and being present with Ang and the boys...
This morning, I was thinking about the two bald eagles I saw on Friday, and I can’t help but believe that most people driving along 116th St. in Fishers did not see the two massive birds hanging out and flying around. I could have missed seeing them had I been distracted by my phone, other thoughts, or even changing songs on the radio. There is no shortage of distractions today, which might keep you from receiving important messages from the Universe—you might be missing your bald eagles...
