🧠 Don't wait to be chosen

I can’t wait to see what YOU pull off next because YOU always find a way. Keep going.

Let’s get into it.

1. You always have “walk away power”

Walk away power is the quiet strength of knowing you can leave anything that no longer pours into you in the same way you pour into it - relationships, jobs, habits, even outdated versions of yourself. It isn’t cold or careless. It’s clarity.

Ironically, the stronger your ability to walk away, the more present you become. When loss isn’t a threat, you can love deeper, risk bigger, and give your whole heart. You choose people because you want them, not because you need them. You pursue opportunities because they inspire you, not because you’re scared there won’t be another.

Walk-away power also applies inward. It’s saying goodbye to limiting beliefs, unhealthy habits, and identities you’ve outgrown. It’s trusting that letting go creates space for better things to arrive.

This isn’t a performative “I don’t need anyone” energy. It’s freedom to go all in because you know that if something or someone stops aligning with your energy and effort, you can walk away and still be whole.

2. A theory…

I posted this on Instagram the other day and I received so many messages of people resonating with it and sharing anecdotes about its alignment with different religious and spiritual belief systems. So here it is for you. What do you think?

I have a theory that when you click with someone instantly, it’s because your souls knew each other in a past life and now you’re catching up in this lifetime.

3. Don’t wait to be chosen.

Not in dating, not in friendship, not in work. Waiting is letting someone else write the map while you pretend you’re “seeing where things go.” If they’re “taking things slow,” you slow down even when you’re ready to run. Their intention sets the tempo and you move to it.

It feels harmless, but waiting chips away at you. Each time you hold back a follow-up email, you teach yourself your ideas only matter if someone validates them first. Each time you accept “maybe” plans, you train yourself to prioritize their schedule over your own. Over time, it becomes hard to even name what you want.

The shift is simple: you do the choosing. You decide who gets your time and when that time is up. If someone says they’re not ready for a relationship but still wants your Friday nights, that’s your answer. If a boss hasn’t noticed your growth, you schedule the meeting and ask for the raise. Choosing isn’t about being cold - it’s about being clear.

Life rewards movement, not passive hope. Stop waiting to be picked. Choose who gets access, choose how long they get it, and choose to walk away when the energy isn’t matched.
