Half truths piled on top of half truths do not add up to the whole truth. It’s a just a heap of “not-quite-there-ness.” Grey. Cluttery. If you want satisfaction you have to do the good, hard work of burning down the little lies and resistances. Tear it DOWN.
CREATIVITY. CADENCE. CORE DESIRED FEELINGS. What it takes to make good stuff in the world. Notice when your dream has come true. If you’re addicted to accomplishing things, you might miss the fact that you’ve actually accomplished something pretty awesome.
You probably have notebooks of ideas. You may have ideas you haven’t told anyone about. There are ideas that the cosmos is waiting to tell YOU about it. Stop. Shhh. Did you hear that? It’s your next big idea. Stay still long enough and you’ll hear how to make it happen.
You have a gift. It’s your truth. Honour it and it will honour you — with every kind of fulfillment.
I’ve been asked to dumb down. More than once. By bosses. By advisors. By magazine editors. And I have one line for that…
We work so courageously to hear and heed our intuition, and yet sometimes we lie about following it. We make up “reasons” for our choice that sound more logical and acceptable.
A hunch can be hard to justify to others when the hunch is telling you to choose something other than them.
“Successful” Female is at the podium. She’s giving a talk on how to be “successful” as a woman in business.
I’ve been to a goodly amount of women’s conferences. So much life and power at those events — and sometimes, unfortunately, a big dose of density. It goes like this…
Dreams that don’t come true need to be grieved. The dream itself needs to be honoured and buried and mourned. It’s not just about dealing with the pain of not getting what you wanted, it’s about going deeper to look closely at what the dream was actually for. This is a subtle concept we often miss in the healing process when something ends. You see, we’re not always sad for the reasons we think we are…
When Team Danielle jams on long term vision we use these 3 spectacularly simple questions to get the planning party started.
On the path to defining your own version of success, what you stop doing is just as important as the things you start doing. Read that twice, please. Because this concept could change everything for you — if you let it.
In celebration of the release of The Fire Starter Sessions paperback edition, here are some multimedia motivationals.
Pace Smith is so good at asking the deeper questions about what it means to do meaningful work in the world. Unlike most “business” interviews, here we talk a lot about deep desire, hit on The Enneagram, make our way to The 99 Divine Qualities of Sufism and slide into the first base of grace.
Do you love the kind of problems that you have in your relationship? Like, can you love the fact that your “work” as a couple is to deepen intimacy? That’s some hard work. But can you honour that that’s your work to do?
When the stakes are high or when the success is more than you’ve experienced before, Upper Limit Problems can strike. You rain on your own parade. You make a windfall of cash and you get into a car accident. You fall in love and you pick a silly fight. You come down with something before a big moment…
I’ve been thinking on behalf of Creatives everywhere. I have some questions for us: What have you got in your archive that can be turned into art today? We’re so occupied with creating new and innovative that we can forget our past experiments or the ideas whose time hasn’t come yet. Remember that one idea you had…? Dust it off now and see if it’s got some glimmer to it….
I get a lot of compliments on the inspirational quotes in THE FIRE STARTER SESSIONS. Here they are, all in one place.
For every big hit that we see, there are hundreds of other products and people just as awesome… And then there’s damn good karma.
You’re about to ship your product, wrap the gift, get dressed for the event, name the baby. Go time. Launch time. Deadline-to-meet-time. It’s time to make the final call. You’ve been working toward this for months. Money invested in designers, endless jam sessions, deep thinking, working toward THAT goal. And then…and then you look at it (clock is ticking, we’re waiting for you to sign off), and you think…it’s not quite right…
In this new world, you and I make it up as we go along, not because we lack expertise or planning skills, but because that is the nature of reality.
The moment you say YES is the beginning. It’s not when you give your notice or when your novel is off the press. It’s when you say YES to the desire.
Ask your business/product/service/artwork if it has a message or a gift to give you. Receive it. Notice how you receive it.
Creative types get typecast as meandering goal setters for a reason. They tend to meander. We resist structure (even tho’ we crave it it.) We relish spontaneity (even tho’ we’re intrigued by five year goal setting plans.) We tend to be driven by inspiration (when we’re not obsessed with looking good on paper, or to our parents–who still can’t figure out how we make a living)…
The Idea Fairy can be slightly unpredictable. She won’t always show up when you’re in the zone. But she really appreciates being invited.
I wrote an article Startup Princess that divulged my three top secret, highly complex and sophisticated questions for entrepreneuring. Can you handle ’em? Here goes…
Each TOPIC page is a highlight reel of my deepest, most popular subjects. If you want immediate relief or a night of self-analysis, dive into a TOPIC page.
The Heart Centered Membership is an ongoing spiritual self study program. I don’t promise quick enlightenment, but the esoteric practices + support system are helping a lot of people to find solace and build resiliency. You are very much invited.
The Heart Centered Facilitator Program is in the works. We’re building off of our program for The Desire Map Facilitators (400+ leaders in 20+ countries!) If you’re curious about what we’re co-creating, please get on our notification list.
Audios are planted everywhere for you—like easter eggs. Dozens, refreshed regularly—from 30 second prayers, to long form sermons.
I co-create visualizations + meditations with an esoteric practitioner, drawing from a range of traditions. In spiritual speak: our kits are lit. I want the world to meditate.
I write to love. I write here weekly, I have a daily email of micro insight. If you want a monthly digest, we wrangle it. I think this is my most relevant book.
I’m so glad that you’re here.
I speak about self realization and how to extend that loving awareness to the collective. These are conversations to help us feel less alone, more heart centered, and very clearly part of the solution.
