Redefine success

“People are chasing cash, not happiness. When you chase money, you’re going to lose. You’re just going to. Even if you get the money, you’re not going to be happy.”
– Gary Vaynerchuk

I watched a keynote with Gary V in Malaysia this morning. I loved it!

He also said that we as a world population need to redefine success. It’s not about making a billion dollars, it’s about waking up in the morning happy and excited to “do” what you “do.”

Wishing you a successful Tuesday!

-Dr Lindeman

Fire more on this subject, here is an excerpt from my book, (one of the exercises at the end of the chapter “Lovin’ or Laborin’) Purposely Positive: How to Live an Intentional and Inspired Life, available on Amazon.

Purposely Positive Exercise: What Would You Do

Grab your notebook and do the following:

  • Answer this question:
    • What would you do with your life if you had an infinite amount of time and money?
  • Anything. Anything at all. Don’t think of any side-effects.
  • There are no anchors in this exercise.
  • Seriously, you’re going to live forever, and you have a quadrillion-gazillion dollar allowance every 2 hours.
  • Consider:
    • What would you do, today?
    • What about next week?
    • Three years from now?
    • What would you continually do?
    • What would your soul still yearn to accomplish?
    • What would you stop doing that you’re doing right now?

Tidbits from National Achiever’s Congress

Thursday, my Office Manager extraordinairre and I attended the National Achievers Congress in Denver. It was great! 2 great, inspiring quotes/things that I took away:

 

“The odds of you even existing are 400 trillion to one (that’s the odds of being born). You are more likely to win the megamillions lottery 5 times than to be born in the first place”-Gary Vaynerchuk
“Whatever your goals are, what you are really after is the feeling(s) you will get when you achieve those goals. So why not start with working on getting that feeling now, and then achieving goals become a product rather than the end.”-Tony Robbins
