DARLINGS


What are the darlings in your life?  I’m not referring to people or things that you hold dear.  I’m referring to beliefs that don’t serve you any longer, sacred cows, that you’re not even sure why you keep around any longer.    

Killing the darlings is an expression writers use to do away with anything that doesn’t serve the story.  It’s a productive idea to apply to our lives as well.  It’s about doing away with limiting beliefs that hold you back.  Bury them, set them on fire if you have to, there’s no good reason to keep them around anymore.

When it comes to our  “people darlings”  - please don’t literally do away with them -  but if they’re not contributing or supporting your growth, then to the curb they must go.
