CONSISTENCY

Thanks for sharing this today, Jessica! It is from Oprah’s book: The Path Made Clear and it is great!

We forge our character, our futures, and our very lives through consistency.

You may not realize all that you are consistently doing right now. But whatever those thoughts and actions are, they have lead you to the life you live now.

You can always change your habits, develop or improve on your consistency in the areas you want to experience growth in order to live a more fulfilling life!

Talk to yourself…

I love this from the book: Authentic Happiness (find it here on Amazon).

It is so true, that when others speak to us harshly or criticize us, we arm ourselves with retort to defend.

But when we speak that way to ourselves (which happens all the time), we fail to rebuke.

A friend, and fellow doctor said this once at a speech (I quoted him in my book, Purposely Positive: How to Live an Intentional and Inspired Life) “If you heard someone talking to your spouse the way you talk to yourself, you’d kick their ass.”-Dr. Brent Hendon.

Ain’t that the truth?

We constantly chide ourselves and hold ourselves down. 

Constructive criticism is one thing, but change that “Con” to “De” and all we do is tear ourselves apart.

Start noticing the negative things you say to yourself, act as if someone else is saying them, and then prepare to fight back.

You are worthy!

What CREATES Happiness?

This book is great!

I read this excerpt this morning and thought I should share. Many people have ideas of what can create happiness (better job, wealth, losing weight, health) but research shows that these events have little effect on lasting happiness.

The book discusses the fact that we are in fact, in control of our own happiness.

I highly recommend the book!

NEVER GIVE UP THE BETTER…

“YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE UP THE BETTER THAT RESIDES WITHIN YOU FOR THE SECURITY YOU ALREADY HAVE.”- JORDAN PRESTON

Strive.

Reach.

Improve.

Be better.

Don’t let your current “comfort” hold back your better self.

We should always be grateful for where we are in life, but at the same time, we should push ourselves to improve… not just for our sakes, but for the betterment of the entire world :).

Have a terrific Tuesday!

-Dr. Lindeman
