Sunday Thinking
"One of the most underrated blessings is leaving your house and making it back home every single day. We just assume it’s going to happen. Life is fragile and precious."
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.
“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.”
I. Life is a Process of Becoming
The process is more important than the product!
The Process:
Trust It.
Respect It.
Embrace It.
“Can we be committed to the process of what we’re doing without being emotionally attached to the results of what we’re doing?”

II. What is True Success?
How most measure success:
Fame, Money, Status, Influence + Recognition
How the best measure success:
Values, Principles, Standards, Excellence + Commitment
Those who build anything great have an intrinsic motivation more powerful than any material one.
“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” ― Coach John Wooden

III. Controlling the Controllables
Things We Can Control:
Our words + Our choices
Our routine + Our actions
What we read + What we watch
Forgiving others + Self Care
Evaluating our priorities + How we speak to ourselves
Things We Can't Control:
What others say + What others do
Changing past experiences + Other people's mistakes
External situations + What happens around us
What others think + Having all the answers
When we can't control what's happening, let's challenge ourselves to control the way we respond to what's happening. That's where our power lies.
IV. What We’re Excited About

V. Question
What will you do with the vehicle you’ve been blessed with to become a better person and leader?
VII. This Week, I Will
Breathe deeply and presently.
Express gratitude for waking up.
Not hold myself hostage for mistakes.
Realize it's never too late to begin again.
Invite slowness and stillness into my space.
The Last Words…
"Every positive change ― every jump to a higher level of energy and awareness ― involves a rite of passage. Each time to ascend to a higher rung on the ladder of personal evolution, we must go through a period of discomfort, of initiation. I have never found an exception."
