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 |

The focus of yesterday’s class was “Owning Your Story,” and it was led by another one of our facilitators, Michael, who works in film and TV, specializing in storytelling. We worked on breaking down the protagonist of our life’s story—our Self and...
“I don’t got no problems. Only opportunities for growth.” - J. Cole This morning, a new J. Cole single hit the streaming services—it was a feature on another artist’s album, so naturally I was all over it; OFG!” is the song's title, and it starts with J. Cole stating that he doesn’t see his Self with any problems, just opportunities to grow. I shared the song in a group text, where we often talk about growth in all aspects, but I’d say it mostly tilts towards the professional sides of our...
“Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose.” - Bob Proctor If you’re gonna choose one, might as well choose faith. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
