Where it began

What is meant to be will be

My mantra in life has always been, “What is meant to be will be.” I have also always asked myself why. My quote in my senior year yearbook was John Mayer’s,

“Still everything happens for a reason
Is no reason not to ask myself
If I am living it right.”

I lived by this in my youth, but at times, lost it along the way. Reading it now, it’s so powerful to come full circle.

A few years ago, my life underwent a massive career and personal life transition. I became heart sick. I felt lost, confused and overcome with uncertainty. I wondered how I steered so far off course from the confident, self-trusting and fearless Darah I used to be. I was missing that spark of being present every day.

Coming Back To Me

When I dove into the world of life-coaching, I began to find a purpose and a place for my skills to shine. I forgave myself for not trusting my instincts and began to create a nest of support. I identified and let go of components that no longer served me in living my life to its full potential. I hadn’t realized how dishonest I had been with myself. Even though I knew I had gotten off track, I wasn’t aware how much I was holding myself back.

That truth is: I really love who I am and always have and I made it a priority to I get back to this truth, 100%.

This didn’t happen until I made time to take a step back to examine what was actually going on. I asked myself what wasn’t working and what I truly wanted out of my life’s experience. When I gave myself the space, I saw that I craved greater.
