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 |

We were without internet for most of the day, which kept me from doing much of the work I needed to, including writing a Daily Note. Once our service came back, I prioritized a new show on the AlignedLife podcast that I was really excited to get out yesterday—I needed to download, edit, upload, write copy, and post the episode on my website; it’s a lot of work...
“Manifesting isn’t just about visualizing what you want and waiting for it to happen. It’s about being clear on your why, cultivating self-worth, aligning your behaviour with the person you want to become, stepping outside your comfort zones, developing an attitude of gratitude, growing through challenges, and trusting in the Universe so that you can surrender to the journey.” -Roxie Nafousi I know the word "manifestation” makes many people uncomfortable. I often cringe when I see someone on...
“You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.” - Toni Morrison A nice continuation of yesterday’s Note about changing the inputs if you aren’t happy with your outputs. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
