Hey fam, Hope you’re all doing well—God bless you!
I just wanted to drop a quick note to encourage you to take your thoughts captive. If we’re not careful, they can run wild like a toddler with no supervision.
Example: Recently, we dropped a new collection inspired by a financial speed bump we hit last year. The response has been great, and I’m GRATEFUL for that. But today, a friend texted me about our Playbook Tee, asking why “League” was spelled (leauge) incorrectly—was there a deeper meaning behind it? My response? “Ahh man, I can’t believe we missed that!” I laughed it off at first, realizing it was just an oversight.
But after the conversation ended, those intrusive thoughts started creeping in: • “You mess everything up.” • “You’re looking crazy out here.” • “You’re never getting out of this hole.” • “This mistake is going to cost you $15K.” • “Blah, blah, blah…”
But here’s the thing—I caught those thoughts before they could take me down a spiral. The truth is, yes, we made a mistake, and yes, it might cost us.
But we also have hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise that’s doing just fine. That’s fact. And facts always win over fear. I’ve learned that when intrusive thoughts come in, writing down the facts helps shut them down. We have to remind ourselves of the truth—because those thoughts won’t!
And this applies to any situation in life. Stop the negative thoughts in their place. We all make mistakes. We all go through rough times. But 99% of the time, we’re doing better than we feel—and definitely better than those intrusive thoughts try to tell us. So instead of letting this get the best of me, I’m flipping it into something positive: a reminder that we have control over our thoughts. You just have to be intentional and stop them in their tracks. Can I get an AMEN!?
And honestly? Even with the misprint, the tee still looks fire. Most people wouldn’t even notice—except now that I’m telling you, you probably will, lol.
If this story resonated with you, grab something, get a tee, and support the lesson (and help us absorb the loss) by copping yours.
I hope you feel me on this.
All love, Grateful Ray & the GRATEFUL Team

Great quality shirt and cool design but The word league is spelled incorrectly. I honestly didn’t catch that before I purchased but I would have just loved the correct spelling.

Misleading color
The quality is amazing, my only dislike is that the stars were more vibrant on the website than in person.
