Sunday Thinking

"The universe meets you at the depth of your surrender―not at the height of your struggle."

In partnership with

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.

"Spend half an hour every morning in quiet time. Just try to be quiet first. Because what you’re reacting to then is peace. Once you get up and grab the things or whatever what you’re reacting to is chaos. You can get addicted to peace, and you can also get addicted to chaos."

Denzel Washington, Actor & Producer

II. Surrender Isn’t Giving Up

Often, we think that the harder we push or the more we struggle, the closer we get to our desires. But in reality, manifestation doesn't work through force or resistance―it works through alignment and surrender.

  • Surrender isn't about giving up; it's about giving up our need to control and figure out every detail.

  • It's a beautiful act of trust―trusting in something far more divine, intelligent, and rooted in unconditional love.

  • When we let go of the need to micromanage the outcome, we create space for magic to unfold.

Struggle is resistance, and resistance blocks the flow of energy. Surrender, however, is expansive. It aligns us with the frequency of our desires, and that's when the universe meets us―not when we're fighting against it, but when we're flowing with it.

III. Take a Moment

Sending love to everyone who is just...tired. Life is a lot, and sometimes the answer to it all is to just be still and silent for a while. Give yourself space and grace.

Whether it's:

  • decision fatigue,

  • information fatigue,

  • anxiety fatigue,

  • routine fatigue,

  • getting-your-life-back- together fatigue,

  • career fatigue,

  • social fatigue,

  • financial fatigue,

  • or physical fatigue,

Take a moment to breathe and recharge. You deserve it.

The Last Words…

"Playing it safe is the riskiest strategy. The biggest regret of people on their deathbeds isn't failing―it's not having the courage to live authentically. Imagine spending 80 years on this planet, following a script someone else wrote for you, only to realize you were a supporting character in your own life. Forget that. Go big. Take the risk. Chase the dream that keeps you up at night. If it fails, you've got a great story. But if it works? It changes everything. Regret stings more than failure ever will."
