I love this quote from BJ Palmer (another Chiropractor/writer :).
When we can combine love with a skill we have, in other words when you can LOVE WHAT YOU DO, it no longer becomes a “do” at all and is a masterpiece of enjoyment.
Even if you don’t love your current job/situation, you can find certain aspect that are enjoyable. Dig into those and have fun today!
Create a masterpiece!
-Dr. Lindeman

Every experience provides us with an opportunity to learn.
Happy, sad, traumatic, exhilarating… they all allow us to gain knowledge, on what to do if/when we are presented with a similar situation in the future.
Take some time to understand and revel in each experience, knowing no matter what, we will emerge better and more wise 🙂
Happy Wednesday!
-Dr. Lindeman
“When a team has camaraderie and clarity, progress is inevitable.”
SO VERY true!
A couple of keys here…
Who is on your “team”?
Your life is full of different groups of people. Your family, your friends, your co-workers, and your mentors.
Make sure you are surrounding yourself with people who can lift you up, push you to excel and share a common vision.
When you can gather these teams, enjoy each other, work to improve together, support one another with clarity, there is no way to go but up.
When you have the right support environment, you will be propelled toward your dreams.
Surround yourself with the good peeps, my friends :)!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

“You can motivate by fear, and you can motivate by reward. But both those methods are only temporary. The only lasting thing is self motivation.”-Homer Rice
I’m sure you have big dreams, big goals that you want to accomplish.
Undoubtedly, we can become motivated by achieving things and crossing “finish lines.”
The key to sustained improvement, to getting up each time after falling/being knocked down isn’t these finish lines, however.
The key is the WHY.
The key lies in our internal motivation, our reasons for accomplishing these or any goal whatsoever.
Connect to that drive and we become unstoppable!
Happy connecting!

When you are going through a tough time, remember 2 things:
Keep climbing my friends!

This morning I received this message from Simon Sinek’s daily email:
When we have a clear sense of where we’re going, we are flexible in how we get there.
And then from The Best Self company email (they also make great planners)
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
– Steve Jobs
Sense a pattern?
The key is to have big dreams/goals but we need to be flexible on how they come to fruition.
When we focus on the process and enjoy the ride, we will achieve what we dream.
Have a fun Monday!

Thanks to Ashley for sharing this today.
Sometimes we forget how far we’ve come.
A wise man gave me some advice once: Take 10 minutes and write out all the positive experiences, things, feelings, etc that you have had in the past 10 years that you didn’t have 10 years prior.
It may take a bit to get going, but once you start to realize all the things you’ve been blessed with over the past 10 years, they start flowing like a waterfall.
Take some time to sit in gratitude and to realize that dreams do come true 🙂
Happy dreaming my friends!
-Dr. Lindeman

Today, Jessica shared with us this great quote:
“What you leave behind is not engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”-Pericles
I love this quote… and it was SUPER CRAZY that I actually sent the exact quote out to my inspirational text group this morning (she is not a part of that group).
Just goes to show we needed to hear and share that sentiment today!
Let’s all make our goals today to impact others in a loving, compassionate way. Let’s weave some magic into their lives 🙂
Thank you Ashley, for sharing this today from The DailyOm.
“The power of the mind is a curious thing, because it is so powerful yet so difficult to control sometimes. We find ourselves thinking a certain way, knowing that this thought may be creating trouble for us yet we find it difficult to stop. For example, many people have the experience of getting sick at the same time every year or every time they go on a plane. They may even be aware that their beliefs impact their experiences, so continue to think they will get sick and they do.”
What we think about, we bring about.
And we can get “stuck” in thought patterns that bring about predictable (positive or negative) results.
The key, then, is to realize these patterns and work to change them.
We must be conscious of our thoughts to reprogram these patterns to bring about desired results.
In other words, we must be Purposely Positive (shameless book plug) in order to forge the lives we truly want to create!
Get busy forging 🙂
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
-Dr. Lindeman
I’ve been jamming to Macklemore lately.
I really like the song: Excavate
He talks about how he measures success through his impact on the world and his daughter, not accolades, awards or etc.
I love it.
“The greatest fear that I’ve ever kept is dying with regrets.
Like was I just alive for success
Or did I leave a better life for the rest?”
I love that thought!
This morning, I was watching birds come and go to the bird feeder outside. They swooped in, swooped out, squabbled, nit picked and dropped a bunch of seeds on the ground. Later, a squirrel came up and started eating the seeds from the ground.
I doubt the birds planned to feed the squirrel. But as humans. I do feel that our lives should at least be in part about making the word better for those who come after us.
I am grateful for my amazing life, and I am grateful that I can decode to try to leave the world better for those who come after :-).
