“No one in the world is going to beat you at being you.” - Naval I would like to submit one edit to this Naval quote: “No one in the world is going to beat you at being the Authentic You.” Plenty of people will beat you at being the inauthentic you. As long as you're trying to be someone you’re not, others will stand out because they are being their Authentic Self—someone who cannot be beaten. Be your Authentic Self and become the best in the world—at being YOU. See you tomorrow and keep...

I met with one of my favorite clients today, and toward the end of our meeting, I shared that I had reflected on the journey we had been on together over the years, and it made me happy. I encouraged her to reflect on all the changes she navigated, the goals she has achieved, and how much happier she is now despite the uncertainty, unknowns, and fear she had to overcome along the way. Everything worked out, right when it was supposed to. It may not have always seemed like it in the moment,...

“At some point on your Human Design journey, you stop trying to be who everyone else wants you to be. You stop performing. You stop contorting yourself into forms never designed for you. You find peace in being who you actually are. You stop trying to run someone else's race. You stop trying to manage the emotional landscape of every room you enter. You stop trying to prove you deserve a seat at the table. The patterns that once kept you stuck no longer serve as distractions. You become more...

I hope you had a great week. It was a heck of a week (in a good way) where I found my Self on an extremely high frequency fueled by great client meetings and outcomes, timely first conversations with some amazing people, tons of creative work, and momentum building for my work at Santiago. And thanks to a beautiful weekend that let me spend a lot of time outside in the sun, I'm expecting this upcoming week to be more of the same. I hope the high energy I'm operating from has found you as...

I have had the opportunity to spend a good amount of time outside over the past two days. Yesterday, it was spent watching Silas play soccer, cleaning the pool cover, getting everything ready for opening it in a couple of weeks, and just being outside to be outside. Today, it’s been sitting outside working on some writing while Roman has basketball practice. I find it much easier to silence the call to pick up my phone and scroll or waste time when I’m outside. I don’t even think about it...

How well do you understand your relationship with money? Money is probably something that you think about often, but at the same time don’t REALLY think about. What I mean is that you probably think about day-to-day spending, maybe your savings and investing, and most certainly whether you feel you have enough. And those things are important to consider, but your relationship with money is even more important to understand. The relationship you have and the stories you tell your Self about...

“Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.” - Roy T. Bennett Notice how our fears live in the mind and our dreams live in our heart, at least according to Bennett. This is because the heart is your connection to your Creator, and it is through our heart—through our passions—that we are guided towards our Authentic Life. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

Yesterday’s missed Note was not intentional. I was reminded of just how reliant we are on technology, specifically the internet. 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...
