Thank you, Ashley, for sharing this with us today.
It is so important to know your core values and therefore your principles. They are the foundation of all you do in life!
Happy Wednesday!

P.S. Check out my REVISED book on Amazon (Purposely Positive: How to Live an Intentional and Inspired Life).
A few snippets of a poem by Kim Mcmillen:
As I began to love myself
I quit trying to always be right,
and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is Modesty.
As I began to love myself
I refused to go on living in the past
and worrying about the future.
Now, I only live for the moment,
where everything is happening.
Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it Fulfillment.
As I began to love myself
I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick.
But as I connected it to my heart,
my mind became a valuable ally.
Today I call this connection Wisdom of the Heart.
Have an amazing day!
-Dr Lindeman
“When you let all that is important to you guide you in your life’s journey, you’ll ensure that the choices you make will always be rewarding as well as spiritually enriching. It’s easy to give our day-to-day decisions little regard because they seem so inconsequential within the context of the whole of our lives. Making your beliefs an integral part of your existence can help you see the complex ways short and long term choices will influence your experience. You’ll be more apt to carefully weigh your options to determine whether they are in accordance with your values and will help you in the pursuit of your dreams. The whole of your life will take on a new significance. The beliefs that guide you today will help you find soulful choices.”-DailyOm.com
“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!

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.

This weekend we had a wonderful family trip to Steamboat Springs. We love it there and try to go at least once a year.
I received the top image in an email and the bottom one I saw while walking through the town to dinner.
Both similar and both amazing.
Our legacy is truly written on the hearts and souls of others, not in any bank account, record book or etc.
And while living here on Earth, before we pass on, heaven is at our fingertips, and the way we experience it is to show compassion and love to others.
In doing so, we experience warmth, love and heaven inside.
(Maybe Belinda Carlisle was on to something with her 80’s hit: Heaven is a place on earth 😎)
Have a momentous Monday!
-Dr Lindeman.
I love this quote from BJ Palmer (another Chiropractor/writer :).
When we can combine love with a skill we have, in other words when you can LOVE WHAT YOU DO, it no longer becomes a “do” at all and is a masterpiece of enjoyment.
Even if you don’t love your current job/situation, you can find certain aspect that are enjoyable. Dig into those and have fun today!
Create a masterpiece!
-Dr. Lindeman

This morning I received this message from Simon Sinek’s daily email:
When we have a clear sense of where we’re going, we are flexible in how we get there.
And then from The Best Self company email (they also make great planners)
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
– Steve Jobs
Sense a pattern?
The key is to have big dreams/goals but we need to be flexible on how they come to fruition.
When we focus on the process and enjoy the ride, we will achieve what we dream.
Have a fun Monday!

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 :-).
