AlignedLife with Justin Castelli

Don't be afraid to share what you are doing or what you would like to do in public. Mini manifestations happen all of the time because people like to help other people and if your network or audience knows where you're heading or would like to head the will be able to help when they can.

There will never be the "right" time to start making the changes or taking the risk your Pursuit will require. Today it might be inflation, a recession, or the stock and crypto markets selling off.

Next year it could be anything.

Don't let events outside of your control keep you from making progress toward the life you truly want.

As we cross 60 episode of PRST podcasts and start to see the downloads slowly tick up, it is time for a quick reminder of why we start each week off with a motivational story of someone's Pursuit.

There will be moments on your Pursuit where you question the path you are on or why you aren't seeing the results you think you should see. This is normal.

You can either let those thoughts and questions knock you off your path and away from your passion or you can process them and get past them quickly.

I had one of these moments earlier this week and I share to discuss how you might process and move forward.

There are easy ways to introduce your passion or interest to your life to see if it can grow to be more--you don't have to go all in at once.

A passage from Eckard Tolle's Oneness With All Life encourages us to recognize the voice in our head is not us and that it is our ego.

The ability to separate yourself from the voice in your head is going to be a vaulable skillset on your Pursuit.

Reid Hoffman shared in a commencement speech how cultivating friendships would be one of the most important aspects to the graduating class' careers.

Check in with The Weekly PRST this weekend for the link to the entire podcast where Reid shares the speech.

Rick Rubin is one of the most successful music producers in history, yet he is also one of the most mysterious.

This weekend I went down the Rick Rubin rabbithole and left incredibly inspired by his ability to follow his passion for music, do it his own way, and get the most out of the artist he works with.

Your Pursuit is going to require you to explore and experiment, which means you will inevitably need to pivot from the path you are on. The sunk cost fallacy keeps individuals on a path that should have ended longer than they should be--the in ability to accept that the time, money, and energy invested in the past is gone and should not prevent them from changing course is tough to overcome.

Be aware of the sunk cost fallacy, understanding why we fall victim to it, and how to overcome it will be very important on your Pursuit.

Yesterday we talked about the importance of framing and the words we use. As impactful as they can be, words are not enough...

Our actions must back up our confidence and what we say we are going to do--you have to speak your Pursuit into existence and then go do the work.
