your '25 theme
|
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 |

As life unfolds, be aware of how you are receiving it and make a conscious choice on how you want it to impact you. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
What’s missing? What’s missing from your life that is keeping you from waking up each morning excited to start the day? Start looking for ways to bring whatever is missing into your life, even in small ways. If it’s meant to be a part of your life, opportunities for it to grow will begin to present themselves, but they can’t start showing up if you don’t make the first move. Don’t put your Self in the position of looking back later in life regretting that you never gave your Self a chance to...
Last week, I was asked in a podcast recording how I define authenticity. You’d think I’d have a definition ready to roll, but I didn’t. I don’t think the definition of authenticity is complicated, and I shared that I really just think it means being true to your Self, true to your values. True to your values is important. But only if you know what your Authentic Self values. I think today, more than ever, people are living by values that are not aligned with their Authentic Self. Instead,...
