đź§ What is your intuition telling you?
(it's worth listening to)
Being with the right person means you have stability but also a spark. You travel more, you try more, you say yes more, you take more risks… together. You’re with someone who sees the fire in you and they bring their own matches to keep it going.
And the result is you get hotter, happier, more ambitious, and wealthier together because you’re not just in love, you’re in motion.
My upcoming book “The Opposite of Settling” is 7% off right now on Amazon. It’d mean A LOT if you pre-ordered it.

THREE mindsets to help you reflect, rebel, and reinvent…
1. There’s more to life than this chapter.
Plato’s theory of Forms says this world - the one you can see, touch, and measure- isn’t the real one. It’s just the rough draft. According to Plato, the real world exists beyond the physical - where perfect, unchanging truths live. Truths like love, justice, peace, and your truest self. Everything we experience here is just a imitation. But deep down, something in us remembers the original. That’s why we’re drawn to certain things. That’s why some things feel off, fake, or not enough - because your soul is comparing them to what it knows exists.
Plato believed your soul knew the truth before it landed in a body. Learning isn’t discovering - it’s remembering. He said it best: “What the eye sees is an imperfect copy of what the soul remembers.” And that’s where intuition comes in. Intuition is your soul whispering, “This isn’t it. There’s more.”
Plato’s Allegory of the Cave drives it home. Prisoners are chained in a cave, staring at shadows on the wall. That’s all they know, so they think it’s real. One escapes, stumbles into the light, and realizes the truth - those shadows were just projections. But when he tries to tell the others, they mock him. They’d rather cling to what’s familiar than face the discomfort of truth.
Most people live like that. Numb to their own knowing. But intuition is the crack in the cave wall. The quiet defiance that says, this isn’t the whole story. It’s your internal compass pointing toward the life that feels right, even if you can’t explain why.
Optimism isn’t denial. It’s the decision to trust your own clarity more than your current circumstances. It’s knowing something better exists because you feel it. Even when nothing around you confirms it yet. Especially then.
Listening to your intuition is uncomfortable. It asks you to walk blindly toward something better with no guarantee. But if you keep going, your vision adjusts. You stop craving the shadows. You start trusting the pull. That quiet nudge is not delusion. It’s direction. Trust it.

2. The most important quality in a partner…
This is the most important quality in a partner… it’s someone who works on themselves for the sake of the relationship.
That’s someone who looks at their own unhealthy habits and says, “I should probably clean that up before it spills on you.”
You deserve someone who notices their toxic patterns and actually works to change them, instead of expecting you to tolerate them.
3. SEVEN mindsets to for the rest of the year…
I commit to being a joyful little maniac about creating a life I love.
I commit to trusting that what’s meant for me will never miss me.
I commit to letting people lose me instead of begging them to choose me.
I commit to being an unstoppable menace about turning my ambitions into reality.
I commit to putting kindness out into the world and letting the universe handle the rest.
I commit to making delusional optimism my default setting.
I commit to giving myself the same love I used to give to people who didn’t deserve it
That’s it for today. Thank you for supporting The Opposite of Settling!
