Thanks to Erin (Chiropractic Assistant Extraordinaire) for sharing this today.
Plain. Simple. Truth.
Strive to give your best.
Lead with positivity.
You can overcome any obstacle (and be ready for the next one, because there will ALWAYS be obstacles to overcome on your journey).
Keep jumping those hurdles (smiling all the way 😉
Happy Thursday!
-Dr. Lindeman
I love this quote.
Substitute “sales” for any word you want really and it still rings true.
The key to happiness/success/a positive life is to help others feel important.
Seriously.
That’s the key.
A wonderful side effect is that in doing so, you feel better yourself too.
Have a wonderful, IMPORTANT day 🙂
Happy Wednesday!
-Dr. Lindeman
“One person in pursuit of excellence raises the standards of everyone around them.”
So step one: be that 1 person today.
March toward a better future by putting effort in today.
That effort should be rooted in your soul, and your passion and purpose are the much needed nourishment.
When you can connect those with your desire to improve, even just a little bit, each day, the you are unstoppable.
When you do that, you help everyone around you, including me 🙂
When you do that, together we rise!
(The link above will take you to Rise, a song by a The Flobots:)
Happy Thursday my friends!

Thank you to my amazing Office Manager, Jessica for sharing this one with us in our morning meeting.
Too often we (myself included) focus on our “success.”
We want to achieve, to hit big goals, to overcome setbacks.
That is all perfectly fine, but what matters most is what we leave behind.
“Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.”
― Shannon Alder
When we leave this Earth (and believe me, none of us are getting out of here alive :), we will not be remembered for our accolades but instead for the impact we leave on others.
A bonus to all of this, is that when you seek to help others feel good, to be kind, to be caring, to be friendly, to lend a helping hand, you in turn feel better as well (exponentially in fact).
So strive to reach your goals, most definitely.
But along the way, focus more on the people who’s lives you get to touch, that impact may be much more profound than you think!
Happy Tuesday, my friends!
-Dr. Lindeman
I’m sorry but I don’t know the source. A friend posted this on Facebook (without the highlighted part circled).
It’s time.
Love thy self. So that you can love others.
The world needs a bunch of enlightened, loving souls and it’s time that you and I join that front.
It’s time we grow in our compassion and love and open our hearts (to ourselves and to others)
Grow your heart today.
Love on!
Happy Monday
-Dr Lindeman
This is all truth!
The “little acts of kindness” we are all so very capable of, may in fact equate to huge sums of impact for the people we share them with.
You never know how much a simple smile, a cup of coffee, a thank you note, etc will impact the receiver(s).
We also don’t know how much better doing them will make US feel.
There really isn’t a reason NOT to try to brighten someone’s day, even a little bit.
That little bit can pay HUGE dividends in the lives of others and in our own happiness.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

“It isn’t what we don’t know that gives us trouble, it’s what we know that ain’t so.”-Will Rodgers
It always amazes me that the biggest to key to growth in any area, is more about eliminating other things/feelings/emotions/actions in order to create space for new branches to emerge.
In order to truly learn, we must first unlearn.
Unlearn: to forget and stop doing (something, such as a habit) in a deliberate way because it is false or incorrect (Source: Merriam-Webster’s Learner’s Dictionary).
If you can think of an area that you desire growth in, a “garden” you want to cultivate. The first piece of advice: explore your current landscape and find weeds that you need to pull to create space for what you truly want to thrive.
If you truly want to grow, to succeed to become a better version of who you are today, you need to be able to search for ways to eliminate in order to create a vacuum. You need to first figure out what could be holding you back. You need to look into barriers that you may have (intentionally/unintentionally) built that have kept you right where you currently are. These thoughts/feelings/activities may have served you well up to this point, but you may need to eliminate them now in order to create space in order for brighter/better things to grow.
Look for these weeds/anchors that limit your potential and get busy tending to your garden.
At any given moment (like right now!), you can start your re-education process. You may not be able to fully pull the weeds out with one tug, but by working on these weeds day by day, you will create room for new beliefs to grow.
You get to decide what to plant there. You are good enough. You are exactly the person for the complicated job of being you. You are whole. You are the only you there is, and it’s time to stop hiding.
The weeds have taken over for far too long.
Unlearn.
Your mind is your garden. Start cultivating.
Happy Monday friends!

“In seeking happiness for others, you will find it in yourself.” — Unknown
“Don’t search for what you’re passionate about, serve others to make yourself passionate.”
Have you ever noticed how good you feel when you help someone else?
There is a reason for that.
When we provide service to others, our bodies secrete oxytocin and dopamine. Both are chemicals that make us feel good.
These chemicals also help regulate blood pressure, lower stress, normalize heart rate, boost immunity and improve our overall health.
In addition, the people we help get these benefits as well.
So one of THE VERY BEST ways to improve your health and mentality is to look to help others.
It truly is a win-win.
Happy Thursday!

Simon Sinek is awesome.
He is an excellent speaker and author and an all around wonderful human being.
I received this in his daily email service today:
“A star wants to see themselves rise to the top. A leader wants to see those around them become stars.”-Simon Sinek
What a simple but powerful message.
If we want to succeed for our benefit we may become stars.
And we may burn bright, for a time, only to burn out just as fast.
But if our motivation is to help lift others up, to inspire, to create positive change within others (which will also do the same for us, it’s kind of a law), then the light we help create will burn sooooo much brighter and for soooo much longer.
Focus on LEADING, not shining.
Have a wonderful Monday!
-Dr Lindeman
“Fulfillment is not born of the dream. Fulfillment is born of the journey.”-Simon Sinek
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating.
The journey is more important and more fulfilling than the destination.
Our goals surely matter.
But the processes of achieving them: the “grind”, carries more weight.
If we don’t love the journey (even the hard parts), we will not be fulfilled at the finish line.
The struggle is where progress is born and that progress leads to success.
Do what you love and love doing it with each step.
Don’t make the (all-too-common) mistake of thinking you’ll be happy when you “get there.”
Be happy now.
Enjoy the process.
The goal is but a stepping stone on the journey.
Find your fulfillment in what you do today!
Happy Thursday!
-Dr Lindeman
