Sunday Thinking

"Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be."

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.

"Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself."

― William Martin, The Parent's Tao Te Ching

I. Use It or Lose It

Unused money devalues. Unused talent diminishes. Unused potential decays. Unused machinery disintegrates. Unused time dies. Unused knowledge becomes a burden.

What isn't used is abused.

The tragedy of life isn't the ultimate death, but the resources that die within you when you are still alive. Use it, or you will lose it.

II. The Foundation of Self

The 5 core pillars of health:

  1. Sleep

  2. Nutrients

  3. Movement

  4. Light

  5. Social Connection / Relationships

“Sleep, nutrients, exercise, light, relationships—those really establish the foundation of what I consider to be all of the elements that create our ability to move as seamlessly as possible between the states that we happen to be in and the states we desire to be in.”

III. Blazing Your Path

As we embark on this new season of spring on our self-discovery journeys, may we transcend fear into freedom while leading with more intention, curiosity, love, courage and joy:

  • Your life is an unfolding creative adventure.

  • You create your own reality through your thoughts, perceptions, choices and awareness.

  • Your personal experience is the catalyst for being of the highest service to others.

  • You are here to enjoy life, not worry yourself through it. No matter what you are going through, peace can be your priority.

The Last Words…

"Sometimes we walk through life under the illusion that we aren't enough - that our life experience is too boring, too uninteresting, too ridden with mistakes, or too shameful and that we don't deserve success or happiness. But what if we changed the story we told ourselves? What if we began to own the idea that all of our life experiences make us wiser, more enlightened, more compassionate, and more judicious, not less so? Owning and valuing your experience - no matter how unconventional - is some of the most important work we can do."
