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.

we are born with the freedom to choose our thoughts

“Each of us is born with the freedom to choose the thoughts that will direct our lives. We choose the path we want to walk down. We have the power to choose what we wish to carry along the way. With that in mind, it would seem to make good sense to choose thoughts that will form positive attitudes and that stress our unlimited potential. Negative thoughts and attitudes weigh us down; they make our journey through life so much more difficult. Every thought we allow into our mind affects the...

As I continue to pursue my authentic life, I’ve grown to enjoy asking “why?” and exploring ideas considered facts and/or truths. It didn’t take me long to realize that much of the information we use to navigate life isn’t necessarily true–it may not necessarily be false, but that doesn’t mean it’s entirely true. I think there is a lot of life-changing information that hides in these not-fully-true facts we all believe. For example, I’m in a community filled with ridiculously talented,...

Happy Sunday!! I hope you had a great week! As you'll read in this week's Notes, it was a big week for me and my Pursuit. I'll share more details as time goes on because I think my journey has a lot of valuable lessons and examples of guidance from the Universe that may be helpful in your Pursuit. I've enjoyed dropping episodes of LifeDesign+ every Thursday for most of the year, but I've decided, at least for the short term, to focus on quality over quantity when it comes to new episodes. So,...

“You are the light. It’s not on you. It’s in you. Don’t ever you in your life, dim your light for nobody.” - St. Chroma, Tyler, the Creator Tyler, the Creator’s new album starts with this message from his mother, who acts as his guide throughout the album. It’s an excellent message for all of us to remember because maybe we’re in a position where light seems to be shining on us, or we’re chasing others who we think have light shining on them. We need to remember that the light is within us,...

“Water that doesn’t flow starts to stink.” - Mindahi Bastida Don’t become stinky. Keep moving.Keep experimenting.Keep evolving.Keep flowing.Keep pursuing. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

I met with my coach (I don’t love this title) Thursday, and as we reflected on some recent decisions, some of which I’ve shared in a previous note, he said something that really stood out to me. He explained how I had said a big yes to my Self earlier this week. By saying no/not now to an opportunity, I was saying yes to maintaining my desire to do what I want, when I want, and how I want. By saying no/not now, I was saying yes to being able to finally move forward along the path that was...

“Success is something you attract by the person you become.” - Jim Rohn See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

“Some people are so poor, all they have is money.” - Bob Marley As I think about the work I am and will be doing with LifeDesign+, I believe the majority of the people I will work with will understand that while we cannot escape the need for money and that having money is not bad, it also will not lead to a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Purpose and fulfillment are found by finding, living, and evolving with your authentic life. Through personal experience and observation, I know you can...

In time, I’ll share more about the last few months in my Pursuit, during which I was presented with an amazing a perfect situation for my Self professionally. It checked every box I could ask for: great people, aligned values, a succession plan for RLS Wealth (should something happen to me), opportunity for growth, being a part of a team, the freedom to create, and the list could go on and on. But as I got closer to making a decision, only one thing kept me from continuing my Pursuit with a...

“While we wait for life, life passes.” - Seneca It's easy to miss out on living your authentic life while waiting for everything to be "right." Don't wait—start living more true to your Self and continue to pursue the authentic life you feel called to live because as you wait for conditions to be "right," which they never will be, life is passing you by. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
