Run the Risk, Reap the Reward 7/7: God Rested on the Seventh Day, Maybe You Should Too?: Slow Down Sunday

Send us Fan MailHave you ever noticed how the universe, as vast and powerful as it is, never seems to be in a rush? Galaxies form over billions of years, stars take eons to be born, and at the heart of mighty black holes, time itself slows down at the event horizon. Yet somehow, we've convinced ourselves that our worth depends on constant motion and productivity.This Slowdown Sunday, Dr. Derek Suite challenges a fundamental misconception: that rest is the opposite of risk-taking. The truth is exactly the contrary—rest is what makes sustainable risk possible. Think about gamblers in Las Vegas, where casinos count on fatigue-induced poor judgment. When we're exhausted, our ability to take the right calculated risks diminishes dramatically. Rest isn't laziness; it's strategic preparation for your boldest moves.For many of us, especially those accustomed to being the strong one who keeps everything moving, slowing down feels frighteningly vulnerable. But what if the most revolutionary act you could perform is simply to stop? To trust the work you've already done? To believe in timing bigger than your own? When you rest, you're saying something powerful about your relationship with yourself and the world. You're aligning with the unhurried rhythm that governs all creation. After all, even the creator of galaxies took time to pause—what makes us think we can't?Take this permission slip to unplug without guilt today. Breathe without multitasking. Sit under the sky and take one sacred moment to do nothing and feel everything. Remember, you're not falling behind; you're moving in harmony with the universe itself. And as we've been saying throughout our "Run the Risk, Reap the Rewards" series, when you boldly risk resting, you position yourself to receive the greatest rewards of clarity, wisdom, and renewed purpose. Share this message with someone who needs to hear it, and until next time, keep the faith. Everything, including you, will work again after unplugging.STAY AMAZING!!
