Dealing With Crisis – Monday Motivational Memo

April 30, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

When in a crisis, it’s better to ask “HOW do I go out of here?” rather than “WHY am I here?”

When the crisis is over, figure out why.

When “stuff” happens to us over and over again, we have a normal tendency to throw up our arms in frustration and say, “WHY is this happening to me again?”

The better question is “HOW do I deal with it?” Better yet, “HOW do I stop it from happening again?”

WHY is an intellectual word; it’s great for figuring out the cause and for planning. HOW is an action word, it always paints a path forward.

You might not like the path but at least you’re no longer a victim and you have a choice.

Every Monday, a new motivational memo is posted. Subscribers to ThisTimeIMeanIt.com’s coaching service get this – and many more benefits – sent to them directly. If you’d like to know more, follow this link.
