Using Hope and Knowledge Together

October 8, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

HOPE can be more powerful than KNOWLEDGE.

But the two together are unstoppable.

Intelligence without hope leads to stagnation. Hope without knowledge is fantasy.

You can be very smart but never move forward. You can be extremely optimistic but accomplish nothing.

Believe. Hope. Learn. Apply. Grow.

Thinking in the Gray Areas

October 1, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Think in the gray areas.

Limiting yourself to black and white ideas will inhibit you.

We tend to see things in “black and white” and change is not that way.

We use expressions like “I was good” or “I was bad.” “I was on my diet.” or “I was off my diet.” “I had a great day.” or “I had a lousy day.” “Life is great.” or “Life is lousy.”

In reality, most of the time, it’s somewhere between the two extremes. When we use a more realistic portrayal of how things are, it gives us the ability to appreciate what we like while still improving what we do not.

That is not something we can do when we only look at life as “either/or.”

You are physical, logical, emotional, and spiritual.

You are more complete when you focus on the whole person.

We accomplish more when we are “in balance.”

However, sometimes, we get stuck in one quadrant. For example, we spend too much time being logical and not enough time being creative. Or, we spend all day sitting, and no time walking. Sometimes, we feel bad because we’re don’t “believe” anymore.

Usually, when we’re “stuck,” we’re also out of balance. What part of you feels diminished lately?

Maybe it’s time to take a few moments and fill yourself up.

Want Change? It Starts with the Correct Question

September 10, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

There is always another choice.

choice, options, alternatives
We might not like the choice. We might not be immediately aware of the choice. It might not even be the best choice. But we are never stuck with only one option.

The key is to ask ourselves, “How” do we change this, not “Why” are we here.

Once you answer that question, the alternative(s) will give you power.
