No one gets to tell you how you “should” feel. Period.

May 2, 2016 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment


Whatever you’re feeling is exactly what you “should” be feeling even if others thinks it’s wrong.

You know yourself better than anyone else ever will. If someone tells you you shouldn’t be feeling whatever you’re feeling or to “just get over it,” they’re out of line; even if their intentions are positive. Remember, whenever you hear the word “should,” (either from others or in your inner voice) that’s the “invisible committee of They” telling you how to run your life — even though it’s not theirs to tell.

Nothing Matters More Than Your Relationships.

April 11, 2016 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment


In the end, all that is left of any of us are the memories in those we touched.

As they say, no one will every say, ” I wish I worked more,” or “My only regret is that I didn’t have a better car.”

Choose Your Word for the Year

January 4, 2016 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

We think in words.

Our thoughts determine our actions, which guide our actions.

Therefore, the words we choose determine our lives.

At the beginning of each year, my wife and I sit down at a local coffee shop and we make plans for what we’d like the year to look like.  At that meeting, we:

  • Set our goals for the year
  • Determine our priorities
  • Set our intentions
  • Picture what we’d do “if money were no object” (I can assure you I’d be writing this from a tropical climate if that came to be)
  • Determine what we are releasing that served us well in the past but no longer fits (including grudges, resentments, habits, and material clutter)

What might be the most important item on our agenda is choosing a word for the year. Call it a theme if you wish.

In 2014, we chose “Prosperity.” In 2015, we picked “Abundance.”

This year we opted for “Gratitude,” a feeling or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.

In no particular order:
