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 |
I'm on a mission to help more people find and live their authentic life. Check out my Daily Notes where I write a short note each day about the connection of spirit, mind, body and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life.

I’m seeing it happen all around me, and all I can do is smile. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation.” -Audre Lorde It is easy to fall into the trap of sacrificing your Self in order to serve others. Many of us strive to be selfless to take care of others—our family, clients, friends, and even strangers. What we fail to realize is that being too selfless is actually selfish. We are placing our desire to help others, often rooted in love and coming from a good place, above taking care of our Selves. It might take a while to...
There’s been a lot of conversation, even controversy, about Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance. I’ve only seen clips and read about the YouTube sing-along, but I’m a fan of what he did. First, it seems that his fans—his true fans loved the stroll down memory lane, which is what really matters. Who cares what the media has to say when they aren’t the ones he created his music for? Second, and I’m not sure if this is true, but it sounds plausible, that by playing his songs on YouTube and...
