Your smile changes the world

Especially fitting during these times.

Your smile can change the world! It can light up someone’s day, it can push away the dark.

Just make sure you are using that gift and not letting it go dormant.

Complacency kills.

We need to arm ourselves with more positivity and more light in order to push back the dark.

So πŸ˜€πŸ˜πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ™‚πŸ˜ all you can today πŸ™‚

Never made a mistake?

This was sent to my by a good friend this morning (thanks Hartman). His dad took a picture of it on his travels.

And Thanks to Albert for the reminder of this simple truth.

In order to grow, we have to fail, we have to make mistakes.

The key to growth is the fall and the DECISION to get back up and keep going.

March on my friends!

Thank you for sharing this at our morning meeting, Jessica!

Think of your ideal self, what would they think/say/do?

I actually wrote about this in my book (coincidence :)?

When we are faced with a decision (especially a tough one), it is great practice to try to think like our ideal selves.

Stand in that place, of who you truly want to be and make decisions from that perspective.

It is powerful!

Have a terrific Tuesday my friends!

Grit defined

I just started reading this book (it was recommended by a friend).

I like it so far!

I am not a Cross Fit athlete but the lessons discussed can help in all walks of life.

I like what he wrote about grit.

We all need grit to succeed no matter what it is we want to succeed at!

Grit defies comfort. In order to grow we need to stretch our boundaries. We need to call and get back up. We need to fuel our lives with grit.

Have a gritty Monday, friends!

“Results… Line please?”

screenwriting.jpgResults speak for themselves.”Β 

How many times have you heard that?

It is uttered a lot, because it is very true.

However, it is only part of the story.

While it is true that the after picture is powerful when compared to the before.

The book is amazing when it is finished.

The recommendations due to the results people have achieved help drive others into our Chiropractic practice.

BUT….

The “whys” and the “hows” behind those results matter more.

The drive to improve, the will to win, the process to do both, those are the writers, the providers that give voice to the results.

When you want to lose weight, the why is what feeds the results.

When you want to write a book, the why is what puts pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).

When you want to travel the world, the why is what purchases the first plane ticket.

The purpose that leads to the results are the screenwriters. The results just recite the lines.

 

Happy screen-writing my friends!

Victory begins in the mind

You may not think you are fighting a battle today.

And you most likely are not (at least not in the literal sense).

But you are fighting.

You are fighting your old habits. You are fighting your negative thoughts. You are fighting the nay-sayers. You are fighting to become who you truly want to be.

The keys to winning these battles begin in the mind.

You achieve victory in your thoughts before you do so in reality.

Arm yourself with positive thinking. Train, by implementing good habits (start small). Achieve victory by fostering your vision.

Happy fighting!

CRINGE but do it anyway

This morning, while captaining the carpool to middle school, a local DJ on one of my favorite radio stations (93.3 if you must know) dropped a great fact.

Matt Maeson, who sings the song “Cringe” (which was a #1 Billboard song this summer), started his music career playing at an open-mic night at a Chick-Fil-A.

Big leap from playing in front of people enjoying chicken sandwich combos to sold out ampitheater shows.

The point is…

Sometimes the work we need to do to push forward will make us cringe. (See what I did there?)

We are not in control of TIMING.

We are in control of POSITIONING.

Put in the work to do what we love to do.

When timing happens, big breakthroughs ocurr.

If they haven’t happened yet, don’t give youreslf an excuse to quit or to stop. Keep “grinding,” work hard, be inspired to do what you want to do because you WANT to do it, not for the results down-the-line.

Grind on my friends!

Greatness

This is probably one of my favorite quotes by Martin Luther King Jr.

He said a lot of wonderful, impactful things.

But this, this is such a wonderful reminder that greatness can be found through the service of others.

We can all help brighten the day, lessen the load, and decrease the burden that others are facing through service.

Smile, care, hug, talk, be compassionate and serve your fellow neighbor (we are all truly neighbors on this Earth).

You will feel greater.

And you will have a great impact on their lives.

Be great today!
