“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.

“It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out, it’s the pebble in your shoe.”
— Muhammad Ali
This quotation has been attributed to a few different people throughout the years. I do love it though, because it provides a lot of hope!
Our lofty goals don’t wear us out. We can overcome the obstacles as long as we work on OURSELVES.
What truly holds us back is within us/upon us at all times. We need to be vigilant about improving ourselves during our progress toward our dreams, because after all the practice, the progress is the goal!
P.S. Check out the latest review for Dr. Lindeman’s book: Purposely Positive…
“I initially bought this book to support a colleague, but I was blown away by the content! Dr. Lindeman carefully crafts each chapter into short absorbable doses by discussing the many aspects of positivity and keeping it light hearted with his wit and humor. He reinforces each chapter with exercises so that the reader gets the most from each application! I can’t recommend highly enough if you are looking for a book that will inspire you to become your best self then this is a must read!!”- Dr. Tucker Woods
“The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. Therefore, guard accordingly…”-Marcus Aurelius
SO TRUE! We need to be conscious of what our subconscious thoughts are telling us. Be proactive with the good stuff 🙂
Have a happy, healthy and whole Thursday!

Sounds like someone I’d like to hang out with.
Sounds like someone I’d like to be today 🙂
Thank you Ashley for today’s inspiration!
The journey is more important than the finish line 🙂
I LOVE this quote.
It is so easy to do one of the two things.
We can be serene… and lazy, and complacent.
We can have great visions/aims… and become demanding because we haven’t hit them yet. We can push too hard, we can give up.
It is when we can combine the two, when we can work toward big goals, but do so serenely, loving each step along the way, that is when the magic happens.
Go make some big dream/serene awesome sauce today!
Happy Thursday!
Dr. Joel Lindeman

Love this! Thank you for sharing, Ashley! Life is hard, but you get to choose the reason(s).
It is not going to be an easy life if you stay in your comfort zone.
It is not going to be an easy life if you decide to stretch yourself.
One of those choices, however, is VASTLY more rewarding.
Choose wisely 🙂
“Trust the wait. Embrace the uncertainty. Enjoy the beauty of becoming. When nothing is certain, anything is possible.” -Mandy Hale
Thank you for today’s inspiration, Jessica.
It is sooooo very true!
We are anxious creatures, we humans.
We set goals and we want to hit them ASAP (and we substitute the “P” (Possible) for N as in “As Soon As Now”)!
The process IS the goal.
Winning a medal in the Olympics is probably amazing, but the process is what brings those amazing athletes to the podium.
Landing the ideal job is a goal, but becoming the ideal candidate for the ideal job is the true victory.
BECOMING is beautiful.
Enjoy the change.
Love the fact that you can become who you want to become 😉
Have an amazing “transitional Tuesday!”
-Dr. Joel Lindeman
