why not?

“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

I’m amazed that John Templeton’s work is rarely talked about within the financial planning community–or at least where I’ve journeyed throughout my career. Templeton is one of the greatest investors in history, and I was initially introduced to his name early in my career by a wholesaler who worked for the Franklin-Templeton mutual fund company. I was told about Templeton’s famous growth fund and his history as an investor, but I was never introduced to his writings or beliefs. It wasn’t...

This weekend was historic for hip-hop as we witnessed the “greatest” rap battle ever. I put “greatest” in quotes because, in terms of music, the lyrics, the number of songs, and everything that went on between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, it was something we’ve never seen before. However, when you look at what was said, the subjects that were discussed, and the number of psychological wounds that were probably re-opened or created, it was actually pretty ugly. And I got caught up in it. And it...

“I tried to jab back, and I try to keep it friendly, but at the end of the day when I listen to it, and when it comes out and I see the talk, that…don’t sit right with my spirit. That… disrupts my…peace.” & “The past two days felt terrible. It let me know how good I’ve been sleeping for the past 10 years.” -J. Cole I doubt most of you have been following the excitement in hip-hop right now, but this is a quote from J. Cole after he released a diss track about Kendrick Lamar. He ended up...
