Today of all days

9.11.01

Never forget.

Never forget all the souls this world lost.

So many futures, erased.

2,977 people perished.

Today, pay homage to all the brave souls who in the face of danger, had the courage to risk their lives trying to save strangers.

We can honor them by showing courage in our lives.

We may not be called to run into a burning building or pull victims from rubble.

However, the root word of courage is cor which is Latin for heart.

We can show courage in our lives by leading with our heart.

Love more today.

Lead with your heart and share it with others.

Be significant in the lives of others. You never know who desperately needs your smile, your compassion, your love.

“If we all light up, we can scare away the dark.”-Passenger (from the song Scare Away the Dark) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0hVQ2jjDpss

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!

Begin to love thyself…

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!

What’s guiding you?

“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

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?

Surrender to what you don’t know

We can’t see the future, and why would we want to?

The happiness lies in the uncharted, the process, the journey.

Keep moving in the direction of your purpose, and your passion will continue to ignite and pull you to a divine future!

-Happy Tuesday!

Kindness is Contagious :)

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 :)))!
