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!

Obstacles are meant to be overcome

“Remember, if everything came easy we wouldn’t know what it felt like to truly succeed. Obstacles are meant to be overcome. Fear is meant to be conquered. Success is meant to be achieved.

Believe. Take Action. Play to Win Today.” Jon Gordon

Thank you, Jessica for sharing this today!

A long time ago, my brother and I talked about life’s obstacles were like hurdles, and we coined a phrase to help each other along: “Just Keep Jumping.”

Jump over your obstacles to a brighter future!

ATTITUDE

I actually found this hanging up in a sandwich shop the other day.

I LOVE IT!

We only can control what we can control.

And the #1 THING we can control is our attitude!

PS. Check out Dr. Lindeman’s book (just revised) on Amazon: Purposely Positive: How to Live and Intentional and Inspirational Life

BEAM THAT GRIN!!!

“The more audacious we are in articulating our lighthearted demeanor, the better received our efforts at spreading good cheer will be. Few individuals can resist smiling when they are on the receiving end of a beaming grin. When we let our light shine, the world becomes, if only for a few moments, a better place, and the happiness that began within us spreads from person to person until everyone around us is pleased to be alive.”

This is just plain awesome! Thank you for sharing today, Jessica!

The power of your mind

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

Don’t aim for success or happiness

“Don’t aim at success-the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue…as the unintended side effect of ones personal dedication to a course greater than oneself.”-Victor Frankl “Man’s Search For Meaning” and reprinted in the book below.

The most powerful investment

This is from “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey.

I love it!

We need to forge our legacy. We are our greatest instrument, and when we put work into “sharpening that saw” as Mr. Covey puts it, we create a better masterpiece.

-Let’s get busy sharpening!

Have a wonderful day!

Learn, Commit, Do (repeated)

“Moving along the upward spiral requires us to learn, commit and do on increasingly higher planes. We deceive ourselves if we think that any one of these is sufficient. To keep progressing, we must learn, commit and do–learn, commit and do—and learn, commit and do again.”-Stephen R Covey
