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 |

Many of them I have known who they are, but never had the chance to connect with them or thought they’d be interested in connecting with me–not in a bad way, but more, not knowing who I was might have kept...
“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” -Marcus Aurelius There’s no better way to start the day than by remembering the gift that life is. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
Challenging the status quo has been on my mind for the last few days. Why do we do things the way we do them? Why do we do things and not even question why we do them that way? Who decided how we do these things? What would happen if we decided to do something different from the way we’ve always done it? Now, not everything that makes up the status quo we abide by is bad. In fact, many of the things we unconsciously do should be done precisely the way they are done–for example, we don’t...
