Ego vs. Community: Why Choosing “We” Over “Me” Will Change Your Life | Motivational Monday

So much of mankind struggles with ego. We want to be the one who goes viral, the one who shines the brightest, the one who stands out. But in chasing “I,” we forget about “we.” We forget about community, about family, about togetherness. And what happens when ego takes over? We end up isolated, lonely, and unfulfilled. This Motivational Monday is a reminder that checking our egos at the door isn’t weakness—it’s strength. It’s how progress begins. It’s how we build families, communities, and a better world. This week, I challenge you: if you know your ego often takes the lead, pause. Step back. Choose humility, positivity, and community instead. Because when we choose “we” over “me,” everybody wins. 👉 Subscribe to IamDarriusGarrett for more motivation, inspiration, and real-life encouragement every week.

Right vs Wrong: A Life Taken for Believing Differently | Wisdom Wednesday

In this week’s Wisdom Wednesday, I reflect on a tragic moment that shook me — the murder of Charlie Kirk during a public speech. I didn’t know him before, but what struck me wasn’t politics or opinions… it was humanity.
 
He was somebody’s father. Somebody’s brother. Somebody’s son. And his life was stolen for what he believed.
 
This episode asks a hard question: if you believe that’s justified, then would you deserve the same fate for believing differently?
 
This isn’t about Democrat vs Republican, black vs white, or man vs woman. It’s about right and wrong. And this was wrong.
 
🙏 Condolences to his family.

The Power of Persistence: Turning Every No Into God’s Greater Yes

What if the word no wasn’t rejection, but divine redirection? In this episode, Darrius Garrett dives deep into the unstoppable power of persistence and why you can’t let rejection derail your destiny. Too often, we hear “no” and assume it means the end. But when God plants a vision in your heart, no person, setback, or closed door can override His promise. Every no you face is only preparation for the greater yes that’s coming.
 
This message will challenge the way you see rejection, empower your spirit to keep pressing forward, and remind you that persistence is more than determination—it’s faith in action.

Tomorrow Is Not Promised — Live Today

In this Wisdom Wednesday episode, I remind you that some people woke up today not knowing it would be their last. This isn’t about fear—it’s about urgency. Life is fragile. So why wait to live, to love, to chase your goals, to care for your health, and to protect your happiness?
