Hi Darius,

Thanks for your perspective on the reminder that we can change our "operating system." I too have felt a shift within myself to tap into and fall back in love with my own creative process, part of which is writing more vulnerably and sharing it on Substack. Here are the big 3 excuses I'm ready to let go of:

"I don't have enough time."

"I need to be ready first."

"There's already others saying something similar...why bother?"

Cheers to you and all of the artists and creatives on here! We're doing the thing!

Truth begats truth Darius! This post is raw, inspiring, courageous and confronting on so many fronts. It hits those points in my heart that want to open but are fearful. Thank you, thank you, thankyou - be well and travel safely

Thank you, Darius! This really hit in so many areas of my life. I also try to say thank you and show appreciation to God and the universe for the things that happen for me.

I’m not good enough

What if I fail?

Where do I start?

Dear Darius, I am here confronting the way I behave in outside world x the way inside world, trying to equalize them, in a deep diving trip.

Your words were magical "for"me 😊.

Honoring all the emotions I had upgrading them to gratitute, because they were my path to became this person I am right now.

May The Universe bless you!

I need to be ready first.

It’s too late for me.

What If I fail?

Those were the 3 that resonated with me.

They gotta go FOH 🗑️ lol
