play the fool

“If you want to help your community, if you want to help your family, if you want to help your friends you have to express your Self.
And, to express your Self you have to know your Self. It’s actually super easy; you just have to follow your love.
There is no path...there’s no path until you walk it.
And, you have to be willing to play the fool.
So don’t read the book you should read, read the book you want to.
Don’t listen to the music you used to like, take some time to listen to some new music.
Take some time to talk to somebody that you don’t normally talk to.
I guarantee if you do that, you will feel foolish.
That’s the point.
Play the fool.”
-Ethan Hawke
A clip of Ethan Hawke made its way across my Instagram feed this morning and I had to share it—there’s a good chance the entire video finds its way to The Omens (my new blog that will be posts of videos, podcast, music, etc. that I’ve enjoyed and think will help you as your pursue your authentic life).
My favorite parts of the quote are in bold—those provide all the context I need to provide.
?? Listen to today's Note on the LifeDesign+ podcast. (podcast will be delayed due to travel today)
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

?? Some ways I might be able to help you live your authentic life:
?? One on Ones Let's hop on Zoom to do a guided meditation, a creative brainstorming session, or an overcoming an obstacle session.
?? LifeDesign+ LifeDesign+ is rooted in the Kinder Institute of Life Planning’s EVOKE process, which is a five-step process to help discover what your authentic life looks like and begin to design a plan to bring that life to reality. It continues to incorporate the alignment of your spirit, mind, and body to ensure you evolve with your authentic life, as the authentic life is not a destination, it’s an evolution.
?? AlignedLife+ AlignedLife+ (and the one-time engagement AlignedLife) takes LifeDesign+ to the next level by aligning your finances with your authentic life at RLS Wealth. For individuals looking for a financial advisor to help design and manage their financial plan while maintaining the alignment of spirit, mind, body, and money, AlignedLife+ was created specifically for you.
?? LifeDesign+ for financial advisors LifeDesign+ for financial advisors mirrors the LifeDesign+ relationship, including the focus on the alignment of spirit, mind, and body, with an important distinction—once the plan for your authentic life has been designed, we shift our focus to integrating your new plan with your practice.
?? Outsourced life planning As your outsourced life planner, you bring me in to take your client through the Kinder Institute of Life Planning’s EVOKE process to help them better understand who they are, what they want their life to look like, and create a vision of this life for you to execute on the financial plan. Since you are their financial advisor, you will be a part of each of the meetings, so you understand the “why” behind your client’s new plan.
