Sunday Thinking
"Life is like creating art, but most of us don't realize that we have control over the paintbrush. Instead, we listen to the instructions from others and paint a reality that doesn't match our vision."
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.
"One of our fundamental needs as human beings is to be deeply heard, acknowledged, and understood. But so many of us look outside of ourselves to fulfill this need. We chase and climb until we realize that no amount of outside quick fixes can heal what must be nurtured on the inside. Once we understand this, wanting to know more about ourselves and our inner world is what paves the way for the inner work to happen. Truth reveals itself when you give the intent to know more."
I. Master the Art of Showing Up
Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.
Mastery requires both impatience and patience.
The impatience:
To have a bias toward action
To not waste time
To work with a sense of urgency each day
The patience:
To delay gratification
To wait for your actions to accumulate
To trust the process
Master the art of showing up. Time will magnify whatever you feed it. Good small habits can compound into greatness.

II. More Than A Coach
Great coaching is about managing attitude, behavior, and performance.
They call you “Coach” for name recognition only. The reality is your responsibilities far exceed coaching. You are more than a coach.
You are a:
Leader
Manager
Educator
Connector
Believer in the human potential for greatness
Be somebody who makes everybody feel like somebody.
III. Good Vibes, Good Life
Each day is a new opportunity. May we hold these words close to our hearts:
When you choose inner peace over drama, you're ultimately choosing growth instead of regressing to previous versions of you.
The biggest challenge is often being there for yourself, while also being there for others and managing your relationships. Ultimately, protecting your time, space, needs, and energy allows you to better serve others, and show up in your relationships with more compassion and grace.
Wisdom isn't held in what you already know. It's developed in your quest to learn more, your ability to dissolve what you previously thought to be true, and your willingness to create new ideas with what you discover.
Faith means trusting what you cannot see. Fear means doubting what you cannot see. Both require the same energy and ask you to invest in the unknown. When it comes to your dreams, faith brings you closer while fear can take you away.

The Last Words…
"To allow ourselves to be truly in touch with where we already are, no matter where that is, we have got to pause in our experience long enough to let the present moment sink in; long enough to actually feel the present moment, to see it in its fullness, to hold it in awareness and thereby come to know and understand it better. Only then can we accept the truth of this moment of our life, learn from it, and move on. Instead, it often seems as if we are preoccupied with the past, with what has already happened, or with a future that hasn't arrived yet. We look for someplace else to stand, where we hope things will be better, happier, more the way we want them to be, or the way they used to be. Most of the time we are only partially aware of this inner tension, if we are aware of it at all."
