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.
making the unknown less scary
|
“There’s beauty in completion. And always faith in the unknown.”
- Kendrick Lamar
This remains one of my favorite quotes. As you continue to pursue your authentic life, you will have chapters that end, leaving you to trust in the unknown. For most, the unknown can be scary and sometimes keep you in a chapter longer than you should be just to avoid the unknown. But, the more you experience venturing into the unknown, the stronger your faith will become making it easier and even exciting to find closure in one chapter and jump into a new one. If you’re struggling to find faith in your next known, there are some things you can do to help eliminate the fear; after all, fear is just false evidence appearing real, created by your imagination, highlighting all of the things that “might” go wrong–it never highlights all of the things that can go right! First, identify what fears are keeping you from your next chapter. Then, treat these fears as obstacles, much like we would if we were to create a life plan, and ask your Self the following: “What can I do about this fear?” “How can I do it?” “When will I take action?” “Who do I need to help me?” Be honest. Eventually, the unknown will be something you look forward to because of all the possibilities and opportunities ahead of you. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

Happy Sunday--here's this week's Daily Notes and the latest episode of LifeDesign+. I also wanted to share one of the podcasts I referenced in a note this week and make sure you see it and consider watching; it's the Rich Roll podcast with Kimberly Snyder. This week's episode of LifeDesign+ dropped on Thursday with an inspiring conversation with Zac Owens, a professional basketball player. I also dropped a new Periodical sharing a new term that I discovered in a book I'm reading, "anam cara"....
This morning, I enjoyed a cup of cold brew on a long walk along the Pacific Ocean with a few of my financial advisor friends. There was a little discussion about our businesses and the profession, but most of the conversations were centered around life and other random topics. I broke off for an extended conversation with one of my friends about our spiritual journeys; a few years ago, we discovered that we were traveling on parallel journeys at the same conference in California, and it...
"What we think, we become." —Buddha Note: I’m on my way to Huntington Beach, California for the next few days to hang out and learn from some of the best financial advisors in the world. There will be no break in the Daily Notes, but they might just arrive a little later since I’ll be operating on West Coast time. See you tomorrow (or later today), and keep pursuing, JC
