The weekly Sunday Thinking newsletter is quick-hit content that aims to provide a booster shot to your thought process as you end and start your week.
“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Stop. Rest. Breathe. Start again. Each day is a reset, a clean slate, and a chance to meet yourself exactly where you are. You don't need to fix everything today. Some things will untangle themselves when you stop pulling so hard."

I. Fear Questions. The Soul Knows.
Fear says...
“What if it doesn't work out?”
Soul says...
“It may not. And that's not the point. The point is who you become in the process.”
Surrender to the unfolding.

II. Comfort Isn’t the Goal. Growth Is.
Life is continued work. It’s constant learning. We should constantly be working. Maybe not physically working, but we could be spiritually, emotionally working toward bettering ourselves and bettering the lives of others around us.
I don’t believe in getting comfortable just because everyone says you’ve arrived.
We should never be comfortable where we are. We should always be aspiring to know more, to better ourselves and to improve ourselves because that’s how we improve the world around us by working within.

III. Build People, Not Just Accolades
At the end of the day, it's not about the money, the accolades, or the spotlight shining on your name.
It's in the ripples you create, in the lives you touch, in the moments where your presence lifts someone up when they couldn't see the light for themselves.
You can stack accomplishments and build an empire, but the true mark of power is how many hearts you shift, how many people walk away from you changed―not because of what you said, but because of how you made them feel.
It's not in how high you rise but how many you lift with you.

IV. Question
Where in your life are you still holding on to versions of yourself that no longer feel like home?

V. This Week, I Will
Find beauty in the ordinary.
Release the need to rush, and instead let life meet me gently where I am.
Speak to myself with the same tenderness I give to the people I love and lead.
Remind myself that it is okay to be a work in progress and still deserve to feel joy along the way.
Be proud of how far I’ve come, even if no one else sees the battles I’ve fought.

The Last Words…
"One day you will realize that happiness is not what your house looks like, but how you love the people within its walls. Happiness is not finding success by a certain time, but finding something you love so much time itself seems to disappear. Happiness is not thinking you have earned the world's approval, but waking up each day and feeling so at peace within your own skin, quietly anticipating the day ahead, unconcerned with how you are perceived. Happiness is not having the best of everything, but the ability to make the best of anything. Happiness is knowing you did what you could with what you were given. Happiness is not something that comes to us when every problem is solved and all things are perfectly in place, but in the shining silver linings that remind us the light of day is always there, if we slow down enough to notice."
