You Think You’re Doing It All Alone, and That’s Half the Problem
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve told myself “I’ve got to get this done”. The operative word there being “I”. Alone.
Even when I seek help, the underlying thought is “I’ve got to get some help”, as if the responsibility is still entirely mine, or help won’t show up. It all makes you feel like YOU are running the show. That somehow, if you stopped doing what you’re doing, the world will come to a halt and nothing will ever get done. It feels like the weight of the whole world is on your shoulders.
And yet, in reality, you don’t have to search far for examples in your own life, where you just felt looked after and taken care of, while all that you seemingly did was show up.
Here’s my favorite example: Every time I board a flight, I check in my luggage, I step onto the plane and I sit down. And then, I let go of control completely. I can’t orchestrate the takeoff. I can’t manage the altitude. I can’t navigate the airspace. I can’t engineer the landing. I have zero control over the mechanics of getting from point A to point B while flying through the air at 30,000 feet.
Yet, it all gets taken care of. Perfectly. Reliably. Every single time.
The luggage arrives. The plane flies. I arrive safely. Not because I’m orchestrating it, but because there’s an entire system of pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers, and meteorologists, working in coordination to make it happen.
But here’s the deeper truth:
That system isn’t separate from me. It’s part of a larger intelligence. The same intelligence that’s inside you, working 24/7 to coordinate the logistics of your life.
Call it your Inner Being. Your Inner Self, Your Higher Self. Your Oversoul. Your Source-aligned Self. The God-force within you. Universal Intelligence. Whatever resonates with you.
This is the part of you that already knows the HOW to every aspect of your human journey.
The Part Most People Miss
Most of us have come to believe that we, alone, have to figure it out and make it happen.
We don’t recognize that there’s an intelligence within us that’s infinitely smarter, infinitely more coordinated, infinitely more resourceful—that’s already working on our behalf.
It’s not abstract. It’s not mystical. It’s practical.
This Inner Being:
Knows the solution before your logical mind does
Coordinates circumstances and synchronicities
Brings the right people into your path at exactly the right moment
Figures out the logistics you can’t see
Orchestrates everything while you simply show up
Here comes the decisive part:
If you’ve read this far, you’re probably feeling either intrigued or outright uneasy. Depending on where you stand in your life, this may or may not resonate with you—and that’s perfectly OK. If something inside you rebels at being introduced to this ‘concept’, trust that. Follow your inner guidance, not my words or anyone else’s.
As for me, I’ve experienced this consistently for 27+ years. Not as belief, but as a lived reality that proves itself every single time. Mathematically. Replicably. Objectively.
From career shifts that appeared “serendipitous” but in hindsight were perfectly orchestrated. To relationships that aligned when I stopped forcing. To opportunities that showed up exactly when I stopped trying to make them happen.
The pattern is always the same: The moment I stopped trying to do it all alone, everything shifted.
Now, if you were able to get past what I have tried to explain here, then your life is about to get simpler. You no longer have to be in the driver’s seat, chasing outcomes, and exhausting yourself to make things happen.
So, what are you to do then?
Tune in with your Inner Being through what your emotions are telling you. They’re a constant communication from your own higher self, showing you whether you’re aligned or misaligned with the path it’s already orchestrating. Learn to receive the path and the answers that your Inner Being is already beaming to you non-stop.
This is the real work. And it may take a minute or a lifetime. It’s simpler than forced effort, but it requires trust and openness. A willingness to listen inward instead of pushing outward. If you want to know the mechanics of how to connect with and receive vibrationally from your Inner Self, I’ll be publishing more posts here on the subject.
I’m genuinely surprised at how completely absent this Inner Being work is from mainstream coaching.
Most of the coaching narrative focuses on: What should you do? How should you set measurable goals? How should you think? What strategies should you deploy?
It ignores the most fundamental question: Who is orchestrating all of this?
My observation is that once you genuinely tune into your Inner Being, and you know that your are NEVER ALONE, you stop looking outward for permission, validation, or direction. You become the author of your own reality. Great spiritual teachers have spoken about this truth for centuries, and living it has fundamentally changed my life.
And here’s the beautiful part: that’s when coaching becomes transformational instead of transactional. Because now, a coach isn’t telling you what to do—they’re helping you recognize what your Inner Being is already trying to show you.
And that’s exactly what this work is about. Not making you dependent on me or any teacher. But helping you remember the intelligence that’s always been within you, waiting to guide you.
Your Next Step
If this landed for you, if something inside recognized the truth of it, I’m publishing more on this in the coming weeks.
I’ll be breaking down:
How to actually hear your Inner Being (it’s simpler than you think)
What your emotions are really telling you (they’re your most reliable compass)
How to receive instead of force (and why it’s harder for high-achievers)
What happens when you finally trust the process (everything shifts)

I read every reply.
