Today’s Note is an assignment. I want you to pick a word for ‘25 that will act as your North Star for the year. I know it’s the time of the year for short-lived resolutions and half-assed commitments–I speak from experience, but I’ve found that having a word, or a theme, for a year has helped me stay focused for the entire year. Your word could encompass your resolutions; for example, my word for last year was “discipline”. If your goal were to lose weight, work out more, etc., discipline would still guide you toward that goal—focus on the behavior or character trait, not the activity. So pick a theme and share it with someone—you can share it with me by just hitting reply (or DM’ing me if you’re reading this on LinkedIn). My word for ‘25 is “patience.” I’ll share more in the coming days about why I chose it–or better yet, it chose me. JC |

So listen to your heart and intuition. Follow...

“Sometimes your purpose in this world is not something you do, but someone you become.” - Brianna Wiest A friend shared this quote in a community I'm part of, and it jumped out at me. It made me think about whether I talk enough about how the path to your Authentic Life can be found in who you evolve into. I think I present the idea that we need to go internal, rather than looking external, when we are trying to discover our Authentic Self and align with our Authentic Life, but I’m not...
