Sunday Thinking

86,400 seconds of living are gifted to us each day. Let us become aware of how many of those moments we devote to raising our hearts and voices in gratitude.

July 10, 2022

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.

"Your gifts are not about You. Leadership is not about You. Your purpose is not about You. A life of significance is about serving those who need your gifts, your leadership, your purpose."

― Kevin Hall, Aspire

II. Lessons Learned Along the Way

Forgive the person you were before you learned the lesson:

  • "You were desperately chasing happiness thinking that it was something on the outside. You never looked within." ― Anna Cockrell, Olympian

  • "You are growing into consciousness, and my wish for you is that you feel no need to constrict yourself to make other people comfortable." ― Ta-Nehisi Coates, Author

  • "Whatever doubts come, however frightening they are, know they are the creation of your mind. Only the light is real." ― Kamala Reddy, Spiritual Teacher

III. Unleash Greatness in Others

The world’s most accomplished leaders take different paths to success yet share much in common, regardless of industry or profession:

  • Great leaders demonstrate humility and integrity.

  • Great leaders have curiosity, a commitment to continuous learning, and the conviction that failure breeds knowledge and fortitude.

  • Great leaders can’t achieve their vision alone. They assemble and inspire top talent, and they share credit.

IV. What We’re Excited About

Warren Buffett’s Most Important Rule For Today’s Markets

To put it simply, today’s turbulent market has a lot of people worried. Amid an economic backdrop of runaway inflation and rising interest rates, volatility is running rampant. So what advice does the world’s most famous investor have for such times?

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” – Warren Buffett

In other words, now is the time for action, not fear. That's why the smart money is taking an opportunity to diversify into assets that are poised to benefit from today’s environment.

Like one that grew more than 33.2% per year in the last inflationary period from 1973 to 1981, outpacing gold, and the S&P's sluggish 2.4% growth.

Now, the elite investment platform Masterworks is making this inflation-hedging asset class available to ordinary investors.
