As you get more clear on what your authentic life looks like and begin to realign your behaviors and habits with your authentic life, you might find your Self easily falling back into the old ways you are trying to move on from. I don’t know this to be factual, but I think that’s normal and does not mean you won’t reach your authentic life—assuming you recognize you’re back to your old ways and refocus your attention on the new. The important part is to recognize that you’ve reverted to the...

When was the last time you took a moment to look at just how far you’ve come? In the moment, it’s hard to see the progress you’ve made because you’re so focused on what is going on and what you want to see happen in the future. It’s easy to feel as if you are merely treading water and not making any progress. That is until you actually take some time to look back at all that has transpired over the timeframe–and it doesn’t matter what timeframe you choose. It’s important to acknowledge your...

“Asking ‘Why?’ can lead to understanding. Asking ‘Why not?’ can lead to breakthroughs.” - Daniel Pink I’ve written about the importance of asking “why” and how the true answer is usually buried three or four “whys” deep. Asking “why” can help you discover the reasons and influences behind the life you are living—the understanding, as Daniel Pink describes. The second part of Pink’s quote makes me think of Russell Westbrook’s Why Not? Jordan Brand campaign; this is also the name of his...

Distractions are everywhere. And I feel like they are more prevalent than ever. I’m not sure why the distractions exist and seem to be increasing every day, but I see them, which I view as a positive because as soon as I recognize the distraction, I can make sure I’m no longer distracted by it. There are theories on distractions being orchestrated to keep us from noticing something “bigger” going on, which in itself is just another distraction. Everything that does not align with your...

I was revisiting The Map Of Consciousness Explained and re-reading Dr. David Hawkins’s 14 spiritual principles, and they jumped out more than the first time I read them. As you read through them, I’ve just shared the actual principle and not Hawkins’s explanation. You’ll notice they don’t sound as “woo” as you might expect, being spiritual principles. I highly encourage you to grab a copy of the book to learn more about each principle, the different levels of consciousness, and how taking...

“You have to realize that happiness is not something that you find at the end of the road. You have to understand that it is here, now.” -Thich Nhat Hanh And that happiness starts within your Self; it’s not going to come from external sources. Sure, when you are happy with who you are and what you have, external sources may bring more happiness–but they will never lead you to happiness. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
