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 often think about how I make sure I help the boys grow into the men they were created to be and help them learn important lessons to make their Pursuits of their Authentic Lives smoother—assuming they aren’t supposed to learn their life lessons through great struggles (this is something I struggle...
“Inner space is the real frontier.” - Gloria Steinem I thought this was a great quote to remind us that even with all of the excitement of the recent shuttle launch to circle the moon, space might be the final frontier, but inner space is the real frontier to explore. And you don’t need to be a billionaire to explore it. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
I shared on social media earlier this week that Leo is in Atlanta over spring break to participate in a mini-camp for USA Soccer. Last weekend, Leo had an unfortunate jamming of his big toe on his right foot. Thankfully, he didn’t break his toe, but he did rip back the skin right on the tip of his toe—the very spot that rubs against and hits the toe box of his cleats. Possibly THE worst time to have an accident like this—I’m very aware that performance at a mini-camp, even for USA Soccer, at...
