Peace or Perfection?

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

Self-Acceptance Affirmation

Inner peace always outranks perfection.

Sometimes, it’s important to ask yourself what matters most – being happy or spending years striving to be “perfect” (especially since you never will).

It’s not “settling for second best” if you make a conscious effort to relax and enjoy your life.  After all, what could be more “perfect than that?”

Today I am at peace with who I am.

Be Patient With What You Cannot Accomplish

April 29, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Self-Acceptance Affirmation

There will always be more to do.

The only way we are all identical is that we each live in a 24-hour day.  Why some people accomplish more is therefore a function of how they organize their days and what priorities they have.

Yet, even they cannot accomplish everything they’d like to accomplish. We must realize that even when we pass from this life, we will still have uncompleted tasks “left on our plate.”

Be organized. Understand your priorities.  Accept that you’re only human.

Today I accept that there will always be something more to do.

All I can do is what I can do.

Abandoning Limiting Beliefs

April 24, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Self-Acceptance Affirmation

It’s my mind; I can change it.

I am constantly exposed to new information.

When what I learn no longer matches what I knew, it’s healthy to adjust what I think and what I feel. Simply holding on to yesterday’s beliefs because I’ve had them for a long time is no reason to continue to harbor them. It’s healthier to change.

I have the right to change what I want and what I believe.

Earning Respect

April 20, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Self-Acceptance Affirmation

Respect is earned by what you do with what you have, not what you inherited from others.

We cannot “command respect,” it is given to us by others who admire what we do.

By regularly doing what I way I will do – and doing it with dignity and compassion, I will have no choice but to earn the respect of others.

I am proud of what I have accomplished and I do it with grace and dignity.

Avoiding Stagnation

April 15, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Self-Acceptance Affirmation

The only way to avoid mistakes is to remain stagnant

Today, I will accept the fact that the only way for mistakes to be avoided is to remain stagnant.

Whereby that will prevent me from making errors, it will also prevent me from the possibility of enjoying my life, as well as growing. I will therefore move forward, fully aware of the fact that the unexpected can – and most likely will – happen, but that I can handle them when they do..

I am a fully functional being with the ability to handle set-backs and errors. Knowing that makes me stronger and happier.
