| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, my friends, and welcome to Live Inspired Podcast with John O'Leary for this week's |
| 0:15.9 | Monday moment. We create these to help start your week on fire with a quick burst of inspiration. |
| 0:22.3 | Today, during this Monday moment, I want to share an answer to a question from live-inspired community member, Christine. |
| 0:29.9 | Christine wants to know this. She says, John, I follow you online and I love what you are all about. |

| 1:45.8 | Next time you are feeling negativity at work or at home or somewhere in between, ask yourself |
| 1:51.1 | a series of questions. |
| 1:52.9 | Are you defined by someone else's opinion? |
