Eliminating Suffering

April 25, 2012 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Self-Acceptance Affirmation

Suffering is NOT a requisite for success.

As someone once said, “Pain is mandatory, suffering is optional.”

We all experience pain during our lives. It’s inevitable. It’s part of the human condition. However,  focusing on it and fearing how much worse it can get does nothing to limit nor lower it.

When I am in pain, I am able to reach out to others for support and to take time to comfort myself. At times like those I need healing, not more to worry about.

Today, I let go of suffering and focus on the joy of accomplishment.

From Adversity comes Inspiration

January 17, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

The company that supports us with their coaching software, Lifetick, is located in Australia. They are going through one of the worst floods in their history. They have written a very inspiring post; worth reading.

Part of it is highlighted below:

One needn’t spend much time on a news website anywhere in the world to realise people everywhere are faced with adversity. Amidst this dark backdrop, there is one thing that remains certain. And that is the strength of human spirit. Whilst we are always evolving, perhaps what should not be forgotten is that we are also enduring. The very core of our being is one of endurance. It is a word that speaks so much. It carries with it a sense of weight and hardship. But it also speaks of hope. Because to endure something surely means to outlast it. And that is what defines us. It is the people who endure great suffering and emerge on the other side that so much inspiration can be drawn from. Surely the goals we set for ourselves are all the more worthwhile because we have had to work so hard for them… enduring the struggle to claim the prize. After all, isn’t it the journey that we are really interested in rather than the destination? What are highs without lows?

If you do start to wane in your efforts this year, don’t be down hearted. It is a part of life. But do draw strength from those who have truly suffered and endured. Their actions have spoken louder than the words of any great orator and they will continue to speak. It is the human spirit as its finest.
