i think you might need to hear this

i like to trust my intuition and today, it’s telling me that you might need one of these messages:


  1. you’ve had everything you’ve needed all along. your mindset just might need to catch up to understand that.

  2. invite people in to help you. there’s no prize for carrying all of the weight alone.

  3. oftentimes, the thing you're resisting the most is precisely the thing that you need.

  4. it’s understandable to want to chase goals and their outcomes. but please also take time to experience and appreciate how far you’ve come and that the life you’re living now likely used to seem wholly out of reach.

  5. when you truly desire, visualize, and feel the thing you want as though it was already a reality, it arrives (not always on your timeline, but it shows up). the same is true with doubt and lack. so pay attention to your thoughts.

  6. don’t let the pursuit of perfection get in the way of progress.

  7. the cost of admission for growth is doing things that you’ve never done before and that scares you. 

  8. speaking of growth, don't get so attached to an identity that you miss the opportunity to grow.

  9. sometimes humility is actually a mask to hide behind (and play small).

  10. you don't have to 'do' or perform to be valuable. you can just be because you are valuable.

  11. borrow confidence from those who see it in you until you can believe it for yourself.

  12. work is like gas. it fills up whatever space you give it. see what happens when you limit its space.

  13. whatever you want... give more of it.

  14. there's a delicate balance between admiration and comparison. be careful to allow admiration to fuel you, not turn it into comparison that stops you.

  15. stop grasping. it's a form of control. the best things happen when you let go and allow to come what’s meant for you. all stress and anxiety are a result of desiring a different past or future. you'll be much more at peace if you plan, release, and receive.

  16. there is no better use of your energy than to grow and nurture yourself before anything else. then you have more to give, as well as more quality to offer.


which of these feel most resonant with you today?


consider making it prominently visible somewhere as a reminder (your phone background or a post-it on your desk, for example).


cheering you on, darrah
