Be grateful for everything
This video is amazing! Mrs. Sandberg lost her husband and through that unfathomable loss, she discovered gratitude. Gratitude not just for the good days, but for EVERYTHING. Truly a powerful video!
Focus
“It’s not always that we need to do more but rather that we need to focus on less.”-Nathan W. Morris
Keep the main thing the main thing :). In all the hustle and bustle we can get caught up in a lot of side roads. Remember to keep your purpose/passion at the forefront. There will always be things to do (and things we need to do), but make sure to re-visit what fuels your fire, and keep it well fed.
Real service
“To give real service, you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity”-Douglas Adams
I would like to add “compassion” to that sentence too 🙂
Start with Why
I loooooove this talk (and the book) by Simon Sinek. Your why is what drives everything else you do (not just as a company, but as a human being). Start with your Why today!
Your Job is to change yourself :)
Do your best
“The House Rules reveal that you can control your efforts, not outcomes. Do your best, let God handle the rest.”-The Way of the Peaceful Warrior
Sandwiches
At a construction site in the Midwest, all the workers would sit down together for lunch. Every day Brian would open his lunch pail and complain. “Son if a gun, not pb&j again! I hate peanut butter and jelly!”
He whines about his peanut butter and jelly everyday until finally one day another worker said “for cripes sakes Brian, if you hate pb&j have your wife make you something different!”
Brian said “what do you mean, wife? I’m not married. I make my own sanwhiches.”
Our lives are created by us :-). Complaints usually hold no merit. Get busy forging the life we want and forget about bitching about “sandwiches”
-Adapted from the book “The Way of the Peaceful Warrior”
Decisions
Last night at our regional meeting (a group of Chiropractors and Chiropractic Assistants get together to discuss/present how we can better serve our patients) a recurring theme was “decisions.”
Dr. Orlando (a good friend and doctor) stated “We have a “fight” between who we were that got us to where we are, and who we want to be who will get us to where we want to go. It’s about who we choose to follow.”
Then I received this from The Notes From The Universe email (you should definitely check it out if you haven’t subscribed): “Everyone, Joel, lives the life of their choosing. Not just what they chose, but what they are choosing.”
Then I read this before bed in my Miracle Morning book “…all that matters is that you and I are committed to leaving the past in the past and making our lives exactly the way we want them to be, starting today.”
Sense a theme?
Our life is a conglomerate of decisions. Small ones. Big ones. Gargantuan ones. Our future is determined by how we decide, which road we take, and who we want to be in this very moment.
Be choosy my friends 😉
