This week, I want you to create your Ownership Statement.  Don't overcomplicate it. No AI. No social media polish. Just one honest sentence about the life you are choosing to fully show up for.

One of the hardest feelings in the world is realizing you were closer than you thought. 🧵 You weren't incapable. You weren't unqualified. You were just hesitant.

Y’all know what’s funny? Some of the biggest shifts in my life started with one email.  One application. One DM. One awkward conversation. One uncomfortable "yes." It wasn't a dramatic movie moment. It was just movement.

You may never get the blinking neon sign.  But you do have enough information to take one honest step. There’s research behind your mental exhaustion: The Zeigarnik Effect. It says unfinished tasks and unmade decisions stay "active" in your mind.

Overthinking makes you feel productive while your life stays exactly the same. 🧵 When you’re smart, you can explain your hesitation so well it sounds wise. "I'm processing." "I'm researching." Whole time, you’re just scared to move.

Can I be honest? Sometimes I already know what I need to do.  I just don’t want to start small. We keep waiting for more money, more confidence, or more time. Meanwhile, God is saying: "Use what you already have."

Just because it showed up doesn't mean it's yours.  Everything that opens ain't a blessing. Sometimes it's just a distraction with good timing. If it pulls you off what you're building, it's not alignment.

Your first “no” was not necessarily failure. It may have been initiation.

You’re being led by people who don't even know who you are anymore.  I don’t mean that disrespectfully. I mean you grew. Your mindset shifted. But you’re still making decisions based on a version of you that doesn't exist.

Who gave them control over your life? You’re sitting there checking emails and playing back conversations like they’re the deciding factor. They aren't. You don't need permission to move on something you were already shown.

I am headed to NYC in a couple of weeks and was thinking about seeing Death Becomes Her. It literally is across the street from my hotel.

No surprise on Sarah Snook

Good to see this is the most lucrative year for Broadway EVER! @willewisiii.bsky.social @khei-k.bsky.social @iammikedorsey.bsky.social @officiallmjn.bsky.social @strawhatsweetpea.bsky.social @jartbro.bsky.social now how about representation?

Absolutely! Good to see the Ensemble in their Pentecost Sunday white for the opening number! #tonys25

So excited for tonight’s Tony’s!!!!!

This is going to be the Blackish Black History Month to have ever Black Historied! The OGs have had it! My 85 yr old Pastor just said, “…I’m Black and I’m proud!”

The dismantling of DEI efforts and civil rights feels personal. These initiatives were about creating opportunities for all of God’s children to thrive, rooted in justice, mercy, and humility. Yet, dedicated public servants are being dismissed without acknowledgment, while history is being erased.

For historians/ppl who know history: did the German public who were complicit with the rise of nazism ever realize they were the bad guys? After the end of the war, did the public by & large understand they were wrong? Or were they just upset they lost? I know you can’t generalize to everyone but…

Winter storm update: Worst case scenario for Baltimore is 10-12 inches of snow

Happy New Year! Looking forward to an exciting 2025!!!
