Sunday Thinking ― 3.23.25
“The entire point of life is to take chances on dreams that seem crazy to most but feel like destiny to you.”
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.
"In a world where most of us die before we are dead, where most of us hyper-fixate on what we cannot control and leave in ruins everything that we can, where most of us fear our humanness and our vulnerability―I hope you find the courage to try. I hope you will come to see that just maybe, beneath the journey you fear to take is the life you had been waiting for all along."
I. Remember to Fill Your Glass Too
Stop pouring so freely. You're giving so much that by the time you reach for your own glass, there’s nothing left.
Pour into yourself first—set your glass aside.
Then pour into others.
We’re running dry, trying to water everyone else while neglecting our own home—our mind, body, and soul.
Leading, loving, and serving from an empty glass isn’t a badge of honor. Prioritizing your well-being, mental health, self-care, and rest isn’t selfish—it’s essential. It’s what allows us to show up more fully in the spaces we navigate, bringing the energy and presence needed to create the transformational impact we’re meant to cultivate.

II. Mistakes: Your Coffin or Your Classroom?
Your mistakes will do two things. They will either be a coffin or a classroom. We will all make mistakes, but how we respond to them determines our character.
Next time you make a mistake, will it be a coffin—or a classroom?
Will it be something you learn from—or something that buries you?
It's important for us to establish that everybody makes mistakes. Everybody will have things that they regret in their life. Mistakes will happen—it’s our character in how we respond that reveals the most.

III. Not Your Weight to Carry
Let them get you wrong. Let them misread you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them twist your intentions. Cause that’s not your weight to carry.
You weren’t put here to be easily explained. You weren’t made to fit into their little box of expectations.
Some people will never see you the way that you see yourself. And that’s okay. Because the ones that get you, they won’t need you to explain. They’ll just know.
So stop exhausting yourself, trying to prove your heart to people that are so committed to misunderstanding it. Stop shrinking. Stop filtering yourself just to make others comfortable.
Cause you will be too much for some and not enough for others. But you know something, not everyone is meant to stay. Some people are lessons and some people are distractions, and some people are just passing through, just like seasons.

V. Question
Are you rushing through life? How can you slow down and be more present?
VI. This Week, I Will
Stop playing around with my peace.
Let my actions align. It's time to grow.
Trust I am exactly where I need to be.
Begin unlearning the guilt of prioritizing myself.
Leave it in the past and begin to change the narrative in my mind.
The Last Words…
“I don't know what the future holds. I don't know. So I tell you, enjoy every minute of your life. Sometimes, in life, we take things for granted. We have a nice life. We have a great position. We're in positions of authority. We have nice families. We have nice friends. And that's wonderful as long as it lasts. But you never know. You never know from one day to the next what life will bring. So enjoy what you have. Be kind to people. Take care of your families.”
