Message from Charlie Rawlins
WELCOME TO THIS MAGIC MONDAY MOMENT
Kicking off your week with some thoughts around a favorite Disney quote (because in my world - Disney is life!).
original message date: 03/31/25
Happy Monday!
I mentioned this in a recent Magic Monday message, but it’s worth repeating [often].
People need people. We thrive when there is connection and belonging. Community is a lifeline through it all - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Especially the bad and the ugly.
This quote from young Charlie Rawlins from the classic Disney film Bedknobs and Broomsticks emphasizes this:
It’s a simple line - and yet, it’s everything.
Because no matter how strong, capable, or independent we are… we’re not meant to do life alone.
Whether it’s in work, in leadership, in facing the unknown, or just getting through a Monday - having someone (or lots of someones) in your corner changes everything.
Support doesn’t always look like grand gestures. Sometimes it’s someone who listens without trying to fix. Someone who reminds you what you’re capable of. Someone who simply shows up.
And it’s also you - being that person for someone else.
To be honest - I haven’t always been great at the receiving side of community. Giving support? Sure. But allowing myself to ask for help or lean on others? That is taking some learning and unlearning.
But the more I’ve practiced it, the more I’ve experienced the power of letting people in. It’s made the hard things a little lighter and the good things even better.
So, in case you need it, consider this your permission slip to do the same. You don’t have to do it all alone.
As the week begins, I want to remind you:
✨ You don’t have to carry it all on your own.
✨ You are not alone in the hard things.
✨ And when we have each other, we really can make it through anything.
How can you show up for someone else this week, even in a small way?
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
