Sunday Thinking
"We are not just what we know, but what we are willing to learn."
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.
“You were not just born to center your entire existence on work and labor. You were born to heal, to grow, to be of service to yourself and community, to practice, to experiment, to create, to have space, to dream, and to connect.”
I. A Learning Leader ― L ≥ C
Your rate of learning has to be greater than or equal to the rate of change.
As a leader, you have to be feeding yourself the right 'content diet' so you can feed others.
What you read, and what you study, should be representative of what you're trying to build!

II. Coaching to Overcome Fear
Life is not just about peaks and valleys, about wins and losses. Life is about the journey.
You hear that all the time. You’ve got to absorb that. You’ve got to know that. The journey has to become the destination because there is no true destination. There is no endpoint. There is no goal.
All rivers run to the sea and yet the sea is not full. Life goes on; accept what life gives you.

III. Wisdom at its Core
Wisdom is not loud nor does it whisper:
it is a resonance that realigns you with a better direction
it is a knowing that arises with undeniable clarity
it is an expansion that makes the mind lighter
Wisdom is gradual, often showing you the same truth but from different angles, until finally it clicks so deeply that it becomes part of your being.
As the wisdom within you matures, it becomes easier to let go, to stop fighting yourself, and to move with nature instead of against it.

Remember my worth.
Listen to understand.
Value actions more than words.
The Last Words…
“You must cultivate activities that you love. You must discover work that you do, not for its utility, but for itself, whether it succeeds or not, whether you are praised for it or not, whether you are loved and rewarded for it or not, whether people know about it and are grateful to you for it or not. How many activities can you count in your life that you engage in simply because they delight you and grip your soul? Find them out, cultivate them, for they are your passport to freedom and to love.”
