Sunday Thinking ― 3.9.25

Sunday Thinking ― 3.9.25

"Whenever honesty is missing, walls slowly start appearing."

March 09, 2025

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 can't avoid being misunderstood, but when you understand yourself better, you'll be less concerned with other people's assumptions. Take time to learn more about who you really are. Listen to yourself. Interrogate your triggers. Acknowledge your weaknesses. Leverage your strengths. Poke holes in your limiting beliefs. Make peace with your true self."

― Michell C. Clark, Eyes on the Road

I. Success is a By-Product, Not a Goal

Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it.

For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself.
Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.

I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run, success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it.

EMBRACE Your fears. They are there to teach you.
ENLIGHTEN Your inner dark spots. Be a creator of light.
EMBOLDEN Your spirit to find your brave. Think less. Do more.

EVOLVE Your soul. It is your moral compass in life.
EXPAND Your circle of people. Be around who you want to become.

III. The Power of Micro-Shifts

You don't need a breakthrough. You need a micro-shift.

The space between where you are and where you want to be will be bridged not by what you do once, but what you do consistently.

Those micro-shifts become massive breakthroughs, and past impossibilities become present realities—they are tipping points that are reached incrementally, inch by inch.
We don't wake up one day and discover everything to be different.

We wake up and realize that we have outgrown our old normal and are now tasked with defying our comfort zones for long enough and often enough to build one that helps us build what we actually want, rather than falling back into what we assume is all that we could ever handle, ever manage, ever create, or ever deserve.

IV. We’re Excited About

TOGETHER WITH RYSE
Future of Smart Shades

Could RYSE be the next Ring?

Imagine skipping out on Ring before its $1.2B buyout by Amazon

That’s exactly what happened to all the sharks, including Kevin O’Leary, missing a 66,756% return..

By the time we hear about industry-changing companies, it’s usually too late. But right now, there’s a smart home startup making their way to homes in America.

This tech startup is RYSE, and unlike Ring, you can still invest early—before it takes off.

Like how Ring disrupted home security, this company is revolutionizing smart blinds & shades—bringing automation to every home and business without the need for expensive replacements.

With $10M+ in revenue, sold in 127 Best Buy stores, and 10 patents, they are primed for massive expansion.

Shares are now available at $1.90 each in their newly launched funding round.

V. Question

What in your life is going un-done because you've labeled it as unlikely?

VI. This Week, I Will

Just do the action.
Rise and lift others with me.
Refuse to give up on myself.
Put overthinking to bed and reclaim my inner peace.
Not shrink to fit into spaces that were never built for me.

The Last Words…

"Life hasn't always been kind to you. It may have led you to your darkest shadows, given you wounds that refuse to close, or broken you in ways that feel impossible to heal from. All this suffering has convinced you that you don't deserve a good life. You believe you cannot allow yourself to be happy. You have lived in chaos for so long that peace feels like a distant fantasy. But that doesn't mean you cannot still experience something beautiful, tender, and light in this life. It may be a fleeting moment, or it may last for a while-if not forever. Either way, these moments can still be part of your story. You can still laugh until your stomach aches. You can still meet someone who shows you what it means to truly live. You can still embrace hugs that warm your heart. You can still wake up to days filled with genuine joy. What you have been through does not disqualify you from experiencing the goodness of life. So, when these moments arrive at your door, do not push them away. Welcome them with open arms. They may not always stay for long, but they will return—time and time again—if only you allow them to."
