Sunday Thinking
“If it costs you your inner peace, it's too expensive.”
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 never really know the true impact you have on those around you. You never know how much someone needed that smile you gave them. You never know how much your kindness turned someone's entire life around. You never know how much someone needed that long hug or deep talk. So don't wait to be kind. Don't wait for someone else to be kind first. Don't wait for better circumstances or for someone to change. Just be kind, because you never know how much someone needs it.”
I. The Power of a Coach
A coach is…
a thought partner + a supporter
a sounding board + an accountability ally
an empathetic space for vulnerable emotions
an objective perspective + a steady resource
one’s biggest advocate and unwavering champion
“A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life.”
II. Invest in the Human Soul
As leaders, we have a unique opportunity to invest in the human soul. Each day we have the chance to:
Invest in new skills and knowledge
Invest in precious relationships
Invest in making memories
Invest in your well-being
Invest in someone else
Invest in your dreams
Invest in innovation
Invest in You

III. We're Exactly Where We Need to Be
Powerful reminders for the self-discovery journey as we embark onward this week:
No single struggle defines everything we are. No single chapter tells the whole story. Keep turning the pages that need to be turned.
We cannot control exactly what happens around us, but we can control how we respond. In your response is your freedom.
It's rarely as personal as it seems. What other people say and do is mostly because of them, not you. So let their opinions inform you, but don't let them limit you.
If the grass looks greener on the other side, stop staring, stop comparing, and start watering the grass you're standing on.

The Last Words…
“The past only knows where you've been; it doesn't know where you're going. Your past failures don't predict future failures. Past heartbreak isn't an indicator of future heartbreak. Past mistakes don't ensure future mistakes. Don't create your future from your past; create it from your now. Your power is in the present moment. Your power is in your vibration. Your power is in the way you show up for yourself. Your power is in the breath that flows through your lungs. Your power is in the soft yet persistent beating of your stubborn, resilient heart. It's in the quiet pauses you take throughout your day. It's in the effortless flow of energy moving through you. It's in the choices you make today. It's in how you choose to view the world. The past is only a small part of your story, but you're a story in the making. Your path is still unfolding. You get to create your future from your now.”
