"We’re on this planet for too short a time. And at the end of the day, what’s more important? Knowing that a few meaningless figures balanced–or knowing that you were the person you wanted to be?" - Sophie Kinsella (h/t to my friend Michael for having this quote in his email signature.) Align your spirit, mind, body, and money, and see how the figures balance in the way they need to for you AND you get to be the person you wanted to be. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.” - Robert Louis Stevenson Getting caught up in the desire to make immediate progress and see results ASAP is easy. When it comes to moving towards your authentic Self and evolving with your authentic life, focus on being the most authentic version of your Self each day.

“We live in a universe made up of energy and surrounded by energy. Because we all share in the universal energy that unifies us, no compartment of life is shut off from another. The smallest parts of life and matter reflect the properties of the universe as a whole. Physicist David Bohm called this the holographic universe: every aspect of our lives has a reflection in every other aspect. The means how you do money is how you do life. Our relationship with money is a metaphor for our...

I was reminded of a conversation I had a couple of weeks ago, which centered around the question, “Who are you?” Not, what do you do? Not, what do you like? Not, who were you? But who are YOU?

Too often, we define who we are by the influences of others, what we think others want us to be, and keep who we are to our Selves. We can work on...
