Be With Those You Admire

June 17, 2013 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

successful-friends

Be around friends and people who exemplify the character and success you wish to achieve.

One of the surest indicators of how well we do at anything is who we hang around with.

For example:

  • If you wish to be healthier, hang out with healthy people.
  • If you wish to be happy, hang out with happy people.
  • If you wish to be appreciative, hang out with grateful people.

If you’re having trouble finding others who share your sought-after goals or attribute – you can be the first one.

(Others will find you.)

Are you Appreciative?

June 10, 2013 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Appreciation runs in two directions.

proudmanIt almost goes without saying that we all love to be appreciated.

What would the remainder of your day be like if:

  • You did a “little something” around the house and your spouse said how much he appreciated it?
  • One of your children called just to say he loves you and he’s glad you’re his mom?
  • You were weeding your yard and noticed some weeds growing in your neighbor’s yard so you decided to pull a few of them. A  short while later, there’s a knock on your door. It’s your neighbor, just saying “thank you”?
  • You notice the person behind you in the grocery store line has only a couple things. You let him go before you. He sincerely wishes you a wonderful day?

Obviously, you’d feel great. It’s because you were appreciated.

We cannot make anyone else appreciate us. Yet, we sure can take the time to appreciate someone else.

Take a moment each day to appreciate a simple act. 

You’ll appreciate how great it makes YOU feel.

Our Feelings are Our Own

Nobody makes anybody feel anything.

We learn to react to events by feeling certain ways. We can learn to react differently if we want to.

It won’t always be easy but it’s definitely  worth it.

Find Ways to Honor Those Who Sacrifice

May 27, 2013 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Find ways to honor those who sacrifice.

vietnam-memorial
Today’s Motivational Memo was obviously inspired by the fact that it’s Memorial Day and we need to honor those who have served our country – and especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

However, without diminishing our armed services, it’s importantly to remember that we can also honor the sacrifice of others who make our communities better.

For example, those people who:

  • Teach our children
  • Protect our streets
  • Take care of our children and our elderly
  • Minister to our poor
  • Keep us healthy
  • Volunteer for the needy and less fortunate
  • Watch over their neighbors

If you know a veteran, take the time today to salute him or her.

If you don’t I’m sure you’ll find someone else who could be honored and remembered.   (You might only need to look in the mirror.)

What Will Your Future Self Say to You?

May 20, 2013 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Do something today that your future self will thank you for.

As children, we couldn’t wait for our birthdays. They seemed so far in the future that we thought they’d never get here. Yet they did.
