Watch this brief (2 min or so) video on the importance (backed by research) of sharing kindness.
It isn’t hard to do.
Little things go a long way (in the video you can see how even a small act of holding a door for someone releases a plethora of chemicals inside ourselves and others to promote happiness, health and well being).
And… those chemicals spread from person to person.
So by being kind… you can improve your health and the health of a community!
BE KIND :)))!
-Dr. Lindeman
“When a team has camaraderie and clarity, progress is inevitable.”
SO VERY true!
A couple of keys here…
Who is on your “team”?
Your life is full of different groups of people. Your family, your friends, your co-workers, and your mentors.
Make sure you are surrounding yourself with people who can lift you up, push you to excel and share a common vision.
When you can gather these teams, enjoy each other, work to improve together, support one another with clarity, there is no way to go but up.
When you have the right support environment, you will be propelled toward your dreams.
Surround yourself with the good peeps, my friends :)!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

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!

I’ve been jamming to Macklemore lately.
I really like the song: Excavate
He talks about how he measures success through his impact on the world and his daughter, not accolades, awards or etc.
I love it.
“The greatest fear that I’ve ever kept is dying with regrets.
Like was I just alive for success
Or did I leave a better life for the rest?”
I love that thought!
This morning, I was watching birds come and go to the bird feeder outside. They swooped in, swooped out, squabbled, nit picked and dropped a bunch of seeds on the ground. Later, a squirrel came up and started eating the seeds from the ground.
I doubt the birds planned to feed the squirrel. But as humans. I do feel that our lives should at least be in part about making the word better for those who come after us.
I am grateful for my amazing life, and I am grateful that I can decode to try to leave the world better for those who come after :-).
“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.

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 🙂
Thank you for today’s inspiration Ashley!
Try, Try again. One of the great beauties in life is that we ALWAYS have another chance 🙂
There really isn’t a complete FAILURE, only learning opportunities and stepping stones to a brighter path.
“Everyone has inside them a piece of good news. This good news is you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is.”-Anne Frank
You have NO IDEA how powerful you truly are :). Have a wonderful day!
I love this quote.
It made me think of this: Own your past, but forge your future!
You can always stumble, but even when you do, you fall FORWARD. Embrace your “mistakes” because they are always opportunities for a better future.
Have a wonderful day!-Joel Lindeman DC
