Join the Seven-day Positivity Challenge!

September 1, 2014 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Every Monday for the last several years I’ve sent out the Monday Motivational Memo (“MMM)”. It’s designed to help you move forward with whatever is holding you back and always offers some small piece of advice.

For the first time in the several hundred MMMs that I’ve sent out, I’m changing the format.

I’m asking YOU to spread a very positive message.

Please join me in making this go viral. The details are below.

My friend, mentor, and Zumba instructor, Greg Parnell, inspired me with this idea. He posted on my Facebook page, three items for which he was grateful and then he challenged me to do the same for seven days.

I accepted this, and I thought

“With all the negativity in the world right now, wouldn’t it a great way to remind us of what’s going well?”

Thank you so much.

What am I asking you to do?

Believe in Yourself as Much as you Believe in Others

When they doubt themselves, we are easily able to inspire, encourage, and invigorate them up with all sorts of compliments. As importantly, we truly believe what we’re telling them too.

Yet, when we are talking about ourselves we are not as good of a friend.

Before and After Is Here and Now

March 19, 2013 by Featured Author Leave a Comment

I have struggled with my weight as long as I can remember.

Depressed Overweight Woman

I always wanted some sort of miracle.

To one day just wake up in a new body, or to be standing there and suddenly have my clothes just fall off of me because they were too big.  I needed a breakthrough in more ways than one.

Along the way, I’ve loved reading others’ success stories for inspiration.   I thrill at seeing the “before and after” shots.  I get such encouragement from hearing different journeys of fellow weight-loss “Becomers”.  Sometimes just one little word from them will be just the motivation I need to make it through another day. I think that partly, it’s that commonality that is so comforting. It’s great to know that someone else is going through the same things and maybe even being victorious over some tough issues!

I have noticed one little thing though, that makes me feel like I just don’t fit in.
