Listening to Your Inner Voice

March 5, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Most times, wisdom is found in the silence, not the talking.

solitude inner voice We know more than we sometimes realize. Unfortunately, we don’t take the time to listen to ourselves as often as we need.

Take a moment. Shut off the TV. Put the computer to sleep.  Turn down the radio. Quiet your mind.

Listen.

You will be surprised how often the answer is already there.

This is a great video about thinking about what you CAN do, rather than what it seems like you cannot.

Accepting Things for How They Are

Self-Acceptance Affirmation

Accepting Situations as They Are

Life can be frustrating, there’s no two ways about it. When it is overwhelming and I feel like a hamster on a wheel, I am faced with only three choices:

  1. Quit the assignment, task, or job
  2. Change the assignment, task, or job to make it better for me
  3. Change my attitude to accept that I’ve made a choice to be here and I’m not willing (or able) to do anything else

 

Staying in a frustrating situation and ranting about it will not change it. It will also ruin my attitude, make me less productive, and possibly ruin my relationships (as well as possibly get me fired). Honor yourself for your willingness to persevere, take a deep breath, and be grateful for whatever you can.

My attitude is my own. Today I will choose to be accepting of my situation and be grateful for what I have.

Focus on Success

January 23, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Focus on how far you’ve come, not how far you have to go.

But keep moving forward.

It’s almost always frustrating when we compare where we are to where we want to go. It’s better to compare where you are to where you started. That way, you’ll see the progress.

Even if it’s not much, it’s validation that you’re on your way and that you’re moving forward.
