Sunday Thinking
"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind."
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.
"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes it will be gone forever. In its place will be something you have left behind. Let it be something good."
I. The Value of You
Your work does not define your worth.
A career is what you do — it doesn’t have to reflect who you are. Making a job part of your identity is an option, not an obligation.
Your impact in the world doesn’t depend on how you make a living. It derives from how you live your values.

II. Is Your Software Updated?
Always be willing to reevaluate what you think you know to be true.
In other words, does the knowledge base, does the information, the individual that you are ― is it applicable to your goals, dreams, aspirations and the person that you're striving to become?
Is your software updated? Because no matter the business, no matter what we do. What's the X factor in life? People.

III. Permission to Be
Instead of dreaming bigger, what if you started to dream deeper?
What if your ambition was to be more wholly in your life, to show up even if only one other person is in the room…
To make something the best it can be and then not worry about how it is received?
What if, instead of leaning outward, you leaned into yourself, and stopped waiting for permission to be everything you're here to be?

VI. This Week, I Will
Breathe deeply.
Keep showing up.
Take it one step at a time.
Keep doing what brings me peace.
Remember, I don't have to do what everyone else is doing.
The Last Words…
“Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on.”
