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?

Share your light

Buddhism Quotes (11)

“By using your efficiency and skills to help others as well as yourself, you share your light with the world today.”-The Daily Om Scorpio Horoscope July 24, 2019.

Thank you for sharing this Ashley!

It is so true! By sharing your gifts with efficiency and compassion, you light up the world.

And the world NEEDS your light!

Shine Bright today!

Gratitude = POWER

This popped up as a “memory” in Facebook this morning.

This is a great quote and so true.

When we start from a position of gratitude, we are powerful beings.

I am thankful for all I have, who I am, who I am surrounded by, and the beautiful world I live in.

Sometimes, I lose track of how amazing life is (when stress gets in the way for example).

When I do that, my energy is drained, I make poor decisions and I am not growing.

Getting back into a position of gratitude refuels my batteries and gives me strength to conquer any challenge, and indeed grow!

Power on!

Your “obstacles” create paths for others

When you are going through a tough time, remember 2 things:

  1. You are never given anything you cannot handle in life, and when you climb the obstacle, others will learn from your amazing example.
  2. More than likely, someone has been in similar shoes before, and they got through the hardship as well.

Keep climbing my friends!

Where you are now is an old dream

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

Melded minds

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 🙂

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

IMG_4814 (1).jpg

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!
