Sunday Thinking
“Greatness is found on the other side of ‘ I don’t feel like it.’’’
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.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us... And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
I. Ignoring the Noise
Highly focused people do not leave their options open.
They select their priorities and are comfortable ignoring the rest.
If you commit to nothing, you’ll be distracted by everything.

II. Cultivating a Good Life
How do you build a good life?
Relentlessly follow your intuition.
Build with people who also love to grow.
Take responsibility for your healing.
Love yourself so deeply that you feel at home in your own body and mind.
Teach yourself to forgive.
Never stop being a kind person.

III. Choosing Ourselves
Choosing ourselves is not selfish or arrogant. It's a sacred and beautiful act that requires us to practice prioritizing ourselves in a healthy way.
Self-choosing doesn’t mean we won’t choose others.
It means I choose me, too. I’m worthy, too. I can be and accept my true and full self, too.
Do not second guess the power it has as you heal, change, and grow.
Choosing ourselves boldly and without shame is revolutionary.

The Last Words…
“If I’ve learned anything from life, it’s that sometimes, the darkest times can bring us to the brightest places. I’ve learned that the most toxic people can teach us the most important lessons, that our most painful struggles can grant us the most necessary growth and that the most heartbreaking losses of friendship and love can make room for the most wonderful people. I’ve learned that what seems like a curse in the moment can actually be a blessing and that what seems like the end of the road is actually just the discovery that we are meant to travel down a different path. I’ve learned that no matter how difficult things seem, there is always hope. I’ve learned that no matter how powerless we feel or how horrible things seem, we can’t give up. We have to keep going. Even when it’s scary, even when all of our strength seems gone, we have to keep picking ourselves back up and moving forward, because whatever we’re battling in the moment, it will pass, and we will make it through. We’ve made it this far. We can make it through whatever comes next.”
