So much of our pain comes from holding on to what no longer serves us: identities, jobs, relationships, etc.

“Letting go” is a life skill that shortcuts your path to your dreams — collapsing timelines from decades into days. Soak this one in today. And for more, check out Letting Go by David R. Hawkins.

The Secret

Hey my friend,

I know firsthand the lure of titles and prestige. But that path stopped serving me. I was unfulfilled, burned out, disconnected.

So I made a change — one you can make too.

I know your corporate path once fulfilled you. The promotions, prizes, status—it was intoxicating. It built your foundation. You worked hard for it all.

But lately, you feel empty inside. No matter how high you climb, it’s not enough.

Your health declines under the pressure. Your relationships fray. You barely recognize yourself.

You feel trapped on a hamster wheel, chasing the next carrot but getting nowhere. Your identity and self-worth are wrapped up in your job title.

It’s time for a big change. You’ve outgrown this path. Your priorities need realignment.

How?

Letting go.

Let go of what no longer serves you to make room for what must be.

We can think about this in the Be → Do → Have framework.

When you let go, your life transforms.

Let's go through an example.

Current state

You’re BEING the corporate warrior at all costs. You introduce yourself by your job title first, as if it’s your entire identity. You embody the traits of other ladder-climbers, prioritizing external success measures above all else.

Then, you DO all the things that feed this work-obsessed identity — endless meetings, 24/7 availability, constant jockeying. Digital devices have become appendages enabling this frantic cycle.

And you HAVE all the shallow rewards — fancy titles, inflated compensation, a “prestigious” resume. But in the process, you’ve lost yourself…and probably your family.

This painful Be → Do → Have cycle is the root of your suffering.

And you have the power to let it go.

Future state

By letting go, you can start BEING your true, multifaceted self again — not just a corporate cog. You'll introduce yourself by your passions, not your job title. You’ll start being the loving spouse, present parent, and impactful leader you were meant to be.

You DO only what’s essential at work, with sharp boundaries. Your energy flows into your family, health, and purposeful business.

And you HAVE the most precious rewards — joy, fulfillment, deep connections, time for yourself. Corporate accolades feel meaningless.

You must let go

Letting go creates necessary space.

It allows this realignment with what matters most — rapidly and miraculously.

It’s where I start with all my clients: letting go and creating space. Without it, this is no transformation.

Let go of everything that no longer serves you.

Letting go is not a one-time activity. It’s a way of being.

Start building the muscle.

With love,

Matt

You've made logical bets your whole life.

That served you well with career "success" and building a lifestyle foundation.

But that time is over. "Logic" means you're just playing the odds while denying your highest self and true aspirations. It eats away at your soul.

Ready to activate entrepreneurial freedom and do what lights you up? That means you need to finally choose your genius.

That’s it for today, my friend! I appreciate you.
