You're thinking wrong! If you ever want to find success you must stop this one thing. The world is full of distractions and opportunities. Look left, look right, look up and look down. Scroll up, scroll down, scroll left, scroll right. Our minds are being bombarded EVERY…SINGLE…SECOND. The more we're distracted, the more we move away from who we are. The more we seek out opportunity, the more mental junk we accumulate. If you continue to do this you'll: ✖️ Feel unworthy ✖️ Struggle ✖️ Lack motivation But there's a simple trick you can do. When I learned this trick three things happened to me: ✅ I felt calmer ✅ I gained clarity ✅ I felt I was winning Stop comparing yourself to others You deserve to thrive 👊 repost to someone who needs to read this message

Focus on Self, Not on Finding Someone. Obsessing over finding the perfect partner is a waste of time. The 💌 is focusing on who you are and who you’re meant to become. Here’s why this approach is non-negotiable: 💌Self-Understanding Trumps Romance. Knowing yourself deeply is the foundation for any healthy relationship. If you don’t get who you are, how can you expect someone else to? 💌Growth Can’t Be Ignored. Personal growth isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential. Stagnation is a relationship killer. People are attracted to those who are committed to evolving and improving. 💌Emotional Intelligence is Key. If you can’t manage your own emotions, you’re setting yourself up for relationship failure. Emotional intelligence attracts, immaturity repels. 💌Mindfulness Over Fantasy. Dreaming of the ideal partner gets you nowhere. Being present and mindful of your own life attracts the right people, naturally. 💌Reflection Reveals Reality. Regular reflection isn’t just good practice; it’s necessary to understand your relationship needs and patterns. What you need at 20 isn’t what you need at 30. 💌Stop chasing after who you want to be with and start focusing on who you need to be. The right people will come into your life when you are the right version of yourself. Ask yourself, are you becoming someone who attracts the kind of people you actually want in your life? Let’s get real about personal growth and self-reflection. It’s tough, but it’s the only way to truly attract meaningful relationships.

If your pain was great enough, you would have done something  about it already, right!? You are successful in business, So you actually have it made. You have the money you want. You live comfortably. There is just that nagging feeling of… Wanting to spend more time with your family. Being more present. Taking a little better care of yourself. While also sensing this fear that it might  all fall apart and you lose it all. So you keep going - because that is what’s familiar to you. I get it, if you had a real pain about it, We would already have had a conversation. Maybe you are like the founder I talked to this week - who was honest and said: “I am not sure how much of a pain it is for me…” I love it - because when you won at the game of business, You can now ask yourself some different questions. Like the ones I asked him: If you stepped into that version of you who is more present,  how might your life change? What results would you see? How would you talk to yourself? How would you look after yourself? What would change for your relationships? Who might you become if you had nothing left to prove?

Message to Self Day 9: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂? What unseen thing took hold of your thoughts at 4am... ...and would not let go, keeping you awake and sleepless? Is it because you’re not even 1/10th where you want to be? Or is it because there’s a lot of work on your plate? Here’s what I think… 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. You’re leaving gas in the tank. You’re addicted to that sly voice in your head saying… …“Don’t try too hard. If it doesn’t work, you can always do more.” You use that excuse when you fail. You tell yourself… “If I just tried harder, it would work.” The truth is… …you can spend hours prospecting. …you can obsess over the copy’s hook in your client’s headline. …you can make endless hooks for the ad creative… 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗽. So when you look at your personal goals. When you look at your bank account. And when you see others doing what you want to do. Reality hits. You’re not good enough Yet. But the only way to get better is to give it everything you got. 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲. These are what success looks like. And if you fail? Keep trying. Fail again? Do it again. Fail a thousand times? Fail a thousand and one times. It’s okay to not reach your goals. It's not okay to give a weak effort. 𝗙𝗶𝘅 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁. You idiot. P.S. Run a business? Want more growth? Shoot me a DM. P.P.S. I wasn’t going to end this post with “you idiot”. Was getting bored of it. But the wife asked what happened to ‘you idiot’. So I have to say it.

I can't do this  I'm not good enough  I always mess things up  I'm just unlucky  I don't deserve success  Nobody believes in me Sound familiar? Every negative, self-defeating thought follows the same pattern. That's why we see so many 'imposter syndrome' posts on LinkedIn. Instead, try being kinder to yourself. Positive self-talk costs nothing, but its value is immeasurable. Positive self-talk → Boosts your self-esteem  Positive self-talk → Creates hope when life gets dark  Positive self-talk → Reassures you that you are capable  Positive self-talk → Motivates you to keep pushing forward  Positive self-talk → Makes you feel secure during hard times  Positive self-talk → Encourages you to overcome challenges  Positive self-talk → Helps you see opportunities when you've lost hope Negative self-talk massively neglects this.  When you become obsessed with your failures and shortcomings,  Your potential suffers. As an individual, your self-talk impacts your business and life,  You can either limit your growth or unlock your true potential. Do you agree? ♻ Repost this if you agree that we need more positive self-talk in life And follow Sophia Lafkas for more LinkedIn content like this!   Image from the wonderful Colby Kultgen

No, no, no, no! Desperacy is a no, no. The moment you discover you are taking any action desperately, stop it, regardless of what it is, let go, it doesn't always end well. Whether it is a business decision or a relationship decision, once you figure out you are acting desperately, let it go. Many of us would never accept we are desperate, or should I say many of us don't recognize when we are desperate. That is the reason, you need to pause for a little while, and ask yourself why exactly am I doing this. There are many people who dive into a particular career part because they heard it is lucrative, desperacy. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying you should foolishly follow a passion that cannot feed you. But, make sure you are not taking any decision desperately, don't move until you are sure you have gotten your head in the game. Don't be deceived by your hard work, you can be diligent in desperacy, access every area of your life and be certain you are not taking any action desperately. Even if it is taking a client that underpays you and is not cooperative, something you won't do on a normal day, if you were not low on cash, it is also desperacy. Trust me, when you act desperately eventually, you would experience a burn-out. I love you, and I am cheering for you, keep being exceptional. © Darasimi Williams. #lifestyle #business #career #relationship #sunday

The only thing standing in your way is some form of fear. ⬇️ Standing at the edge of this bluff 9 years ago feeling joy, I had no idea what I would create. I had a phobia of heights since I was 8 years old. I had broke my fear of heights two months earlier, and so I was just trying to see if it was a fluke. It was not a fluke. I was able to enjoy this view. This experience helped to inform my life’s work helping others release the fears that hold them back in life and business. ☹️ The fear of rejection. ☹️ The fear of being alone. ☹️ The fear of being seen. ☹️ The fear of failure. ☹️ The fear of success. These fears create behaviors like imposter syndrome, perfectionism, people pleasing and procrastination. And those behaviors inhibit your success. When my clients learn to embody my signature Fear Release Method… 💛 They trust themselves more. 💛 They they find love. 💛 They leave bad relationships. 💛 They begin new careers. 💛 They start businesses. 💛 They consistently market their services. 💛 They attract clients. 💛 They achieve their goals. Because the only thing that is blocking you from what you want is some form of fear. You are just one conversation away from releasing your fears. Message me to schedule a call to see how my Fear Release Method can help you with your specific situation. Photo: The Gap at Watson’s Bay Sydney, Australia

15 Things I know at 40, I wish I knew at 30. 1. Success is personal so you need to define it for yourself. 2. People will treat you to your standards, not what you deserve. 3. Most people won’t tell you the truth, be good to those that do. 4. You don’t fail or succeed – failure is a crucial step for success. 5. Listening is a forgotten skill – it will open too many doors to count. 6. Courage creates opportunities, you can’t rely on talent and dedication. 7. No one is coming to save you. You need to be your own biggest supporter. 8. Be careful who you surround yourself with – what you hear will shape you. 9. Taking the focus off yourself builds confidence – focus on how you can help. 10. Practicing gratitude daily will change your life. Perspective is everything. 11. People that can’t communicate well will work for those that do. Develop this skill. 12. Only take advice from people who are experts in that area. Life can be counter-intuitive. 13. Help people without expecting anything in return. You will receive more than you can imagine. 14. Network before you need it. Most people need it before they network – don’t neglect this. 15. People aren’t thinking about you, they are thinking about themselves. Stop worrying about what they think. Anything you would add? Drop it in the comments.
