"When you're in alignment, everything flows. The right people show up, the right conversations flow, the money attracts - it just starts piecing together." - Daniel Priestley

Sometimes it takes a phone call that stops your world to realize you've been living someone else's life. For Daniel Priestley, that moment came on Christmas Eve when his doctor delivered news that would change everything - his pancreas enzyme levels were dangerously high, and he needed to immediately stop drinking and change his eating habits. At 43, with Steve Jobs' story of pancreatic cancer haunting his thoughts, Daniel faced the brutal truth that he'd been judging people who prioritized their health as "selfish" and "vain" while slowly destroying his own body. This wasn't just a health scare - it was a complete misalignment between his values and his actions, and it forced him to confront what he calls the "Ghost of Christmas Eve moment" that would reshape his entire approach to living.

What Daniel shares about alignment goes far beyond health - it's about recognizing when your past, present, and future are flowing through you like a straight line, creating what he calls "vitality." When you're out of alignment, you feel it in your bones. You show up to situations where you could leave and nothing would change, where your unique contribution isn't needed. But when you find that sweet spot where your origin story, mission, and vision converge, everything shifts. The right opportunities appear, conversations flow effortlessly, and you step into work that only you can do. Daniel's raw honesty about his own misalignment around health reveals how we all have blind spots where we're living by outdated beliefs rather than our evolved values.
