2A Daily News – Friday, August 31, 2012 Community people&events Jubilee for the birds Do you have it in you? I have a theory that I believe strongly influences whether or not we succeed at what we want. I understand that's a big promise and it's going to take a bit of explana- tion, so bear with me. Courtesy photo The popular Tehama County Museum exhibit "birds of a feather" has been relocated from the Harvey Room in the Main building to the Marty Graffell Annex where it will share space with several other attractions at the 31st Annual Tehama County Muse- um Jubilee from 8 a.m.to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, at 275 C St. in Tehama. Pictured, Curator Darrell Mullins and Board President Chris Bauer make final adjustments to one of the art display towers. This display was originally designed for a one-year run, but it has proven so popular with tours coming from as far away as Sacramento,and it has been so much fun to work on that the decision was made to recon- figure the exhibit and move it to the Marty Graffell Annex for another year. The art work by the late Nelda Babb is an interesting story of talent, tenacity and patience,and we at the Tehama County Museum feel privileged to put the spotlight on the artistic gifts of another very skilled and creative local artist.The Museum invites the public to join in on the fun, food and entertainment.

In effect, good results are internalized; bad results are externalized. This is critical because where we place that control determines our future results. For example, you surprise your husband with a thoughtful gift for no reason other that being a loving life-partner. He walks in the door unaware and discovers the trinket — with a loving note — centered on the coffee table, asking, "What prompted this?" Per my premise, because you're pleased with your- self for being so considerate, your reply will be internalized. "I just wanted to do something nice for you; no special reason." Notice you spoke in first person; you owned the action. My hypothesis: When we are As another illustration, the results of your diet are finally show- ing; and the scale, the measuring tape, and your friends' comments are all reflecting it. "You look great!" says your friend. "What are you doing?" Your reply: "I'm eating better and exercising more." See? When happy, we lay claim to our actions. Yet, should the situ- ation be frustrating or what we deem as unsuccessful, we abandon it quicker than one can shrug his shoulders and say, "Who me?" You're having an on-going con- flict with a family member; spend- ing your days walking on eggshells. The first reaction of the voice between your ears is, "What's the matter with him? Why is he so touchy?" Notice that shift; no longer are you the center of your observations; it's now about him. In effect, you've "externalized" the control, because as long as it's about him, there's nothing you can nor need to do — except grin and bear it. This realization came to me as I stood on the scale, lamenting that my weight isn't coming off as quickly as I would prefer. That means I have to — yet again — adjust some of my behaviors. Yet, instead of saying to myself, "What am I going to do to knock off these five pounds?" My inner dialog was "Why isn't the diet working?" It might seem a petty distinction but it is an essential one, as it steers our course. your business, an example of an externalizing question is, "Why isn't anyone buying?" Wouldn't it be more helpful to bring that within by asking, "What do I need to do differently?" When times are slow in isn't it changing" (whatever that "it" happens to be), I relinquish my power and control to "it;" making it an entity of its own. Since the power to change is now within its When I inquire of myself, "Why realm and not mine, I am without resources, transforming myself into a passenger, or worse; a vic- tim. Should I turn the question inward, asking, "How can I increase my sales," or "How will I deal with his moodi- ness?" I am empowered for more than when I wait for divine interven- tion, or for him to "get a clue." Scott Q. Marcus these alternatives fall within my control. Unfortunately, they also demand I take responsibility, and that's not so fun. I might not be happy with the options, but at least I have some; and I can be glad about that.
