Find Ways to Honor Those Who Sacrifice

May 27, 2013 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Find ways to honor those who sacrifice.

vietnam-memorial
Today’s Motivational Memo was obviously inspired by the fact that it’s Memorial Day and we need to honor those who have served our country – and especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

However, without diminishing our armed services, it’s importantly to remember that we can also honor the sacrifice of others who make our communities better.

For example, those people who:

  • Teach our children
  • Protect our streets
  • Take care of our children and our elderly
  • Minister to our poor
  • Keep us healthy
  • Volunteer for the needy and less fortunate
  • Watch over their neighbors

If you know a veteran, take the time today to salute him or her.

If you don’t I’m sure you’ll find someone else who could be honored and remembered.   (You might only need to look in the mirror.)

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.

Finding the Positives

August 1, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Catch yourself doing something RIGHT today.

This was actually triggered by something that happened to me today. I was moving a table to get to an electric socket. In the process, I knocked a ceramic mug of pens off the table. I caught the mug before it hit the ground and therefore prevented the pens from spilling all over the floor.
