How will Your Future Self Differ from Your Current Self?

October 12, 2015 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Warning! This is going to get a bit heady.

We exist in three times:

  • Past Self
  • Present Self
  • Future Self

Obviously, we can do nothing about our Past Self. Our Future Self is not yet here. The only Self we control is our Present Self.

If we want our Future Self to be whatever we tern as “successful,” we have to start directing our Present Self to become that person.

To do that, we need to ask ourselves  questions. [Read more…]

Shrink your time frame and you’ll get better results.

Do you want a quick method to be feel more successful without changing a thing?

Of course you do; we all do.

Success is in the Present; Failure is in the Future

September 22, 2014 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

When you don’t think you can accomplish your goal, it’s because you’re looking too far down the road.

© jonrawlinson.comYou’re thinking of all the things that could go wrong and of all the obstacles you must overcome, none of which exist if you can focus on the immediate.

When you’re overwhelmed and you’re afraid you won’t be able to achieve your goal, focus on what you can do right this minute.

Make it small enough that you’ll actually do it. [Read more…]

Are You Lazy, Bad, or Sloppy?

October 21, 2013 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

You’re not “bad,” or “lazy” because you don’t do what you’re supposed to do.

However, you might indeed be “sloppy.”

Let’s face it; we’re overly critical.

If – for example – we’re losing weight and we have a day of which we’re not proud, we say we were “bad,” or we “cheated,” or we beat ourselves up for being “lazy.”

We’re not lazy. We’re certainly not bad.

The reality is we’re busy, overloaded, and trying to do a whole lot.

Don’t label yourself for slip-ups. Rather, describe the error.

For example, wouldn’t it feel better, instead of saying, “I was bad today;” to say “I was ‘sloppy’ or ‘careless'”? One implies that you’re a person of lesser moral value. The other shows you’re human and you made a mistake.

You can correct a mistake a heck of a lot quicker than you can change your morals.

Success is not a Light Switch

October 14, 2013 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Success is not an “on” or “off” kind of thing.

Dimmer SwitchIt ebbs and flows.

If one must use the light switch metaphor, it’s wiser to consider success to be a dimmer switch. Some days it’s at full brightness. Other times, it’s very dark.

But, it’s always on.

When you feel lost, look for ways to increase the brightness.
