You Are Not Alone

March 17, 2014 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Note: We recently launched of a seminar series, “Five Things You Must Know To Make Your Life Better.”  As part of that series, one of the things we went over were the “10 Commandments of Changing Habits.” This is one of those “commandments.”

Accept thy journey is not alone

People holding hands

You run your own life.

If you want to change it, you have to take responsibility for where you are and where you’re going.

However, realize that those most closely tied to you will have to adjust, and they might – or might not – want to.

Keep others informed.

Don’t Listen to Pressure

Listen not to the pressure of others…

Change because you want to or you need to, not because of external pressure.

It’s perfectly OK to stay where you are and continue to engage in your behaviors. However, own it.

Realize that is your choice and you are making it.

This gives you the power to change later – should you so choose.

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.

Change Your Observations to Change Your Life

November 7, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Change your observations; change your attitude.

Change your attitude; change your life.

Change what you observe, change your lifeAttitude is the combination of beliefs and feelings that effect how you view the world and how you react to it.

Beliefs are closely held values accepted as facts and validated by repeat observations.

Therefore, if you change what you look for (observations), you will change your beliefs. If you change your beliefs, you will change your attitude. If you change your attitude, you will change how you react to the world (and therefore how it reacts to you).

If you change how you react to the world, you will change your life.

Admitting Mistakes

October 3, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

We are judged not by our absence of flaws – but by the positive traits we possess.

Most (not all) of the people we know are relatively forgiving – if we give them a chance. They see our flaws and love us anyway – unless we try to deny what we don’t do well.

Admit your shortcomings, ask for help, work to get better.

And remember to be as understanding when others do the same.
