Steps to Success...What's your excuse?
Steps to success.
What's Your Excuse?
Hi Friend,
This morning, after a really good night's sleep, I woke up feeling refreshed, fired up and ready to take on the world.
Every had one of those days when it feel like...nothing can touch you?
Now that I'm in the mood to inspire you, let's talk about how excuses reinforce limitations.
Well, I plan on delivering a power punch so I'll accept no excuses...because a lot of people prefer a good excuse to a good opportunity.
The other night, I over heard a conversation between a close friend about his son's wife.
She weighs close to 140 kg or 308 pounds.
She has a husband and kids she's supposed to be responsible for...but she's so unhappy, stressed and obese she is a ticking time bomb, a heart attack waiting to happen, and not to mention diabetes has already gripped her body with other health problems as well.
And she has a whole list of good excuses to back-up her situation.
Like she said whenever she goes out to lunch and dinner, which is almost everyday with her friends...and she finds it difficult to eat rabbit food because it's unfulfilling.
So....she eats fast food on the run.....she's a big lady and is quick to point out that she works hard and deserves to enjoy big meals....and all the rest of it goes along the same lines with an equally big list of excuses to match her appetite.
My friend says when the problem is positioned with good excuses, the excuses then reinforce limitations.
For example:
Confidence and self-esteem...well, nobody ever got either one making excuses.
You can get evolve as a person by using excuses.
Look, it's easy for somebody to make a lists of reasons why it won't work or can't be done. And it's so easy to become a maker of excuses.
It's easy to pass the buck and let things stay as is, but it's not easy and actually not much fun holding yourself accountable, refusing to let yourself off the hook.
Truth be told, you don't wind up happy and fulfilled.
There's a saying that everything happens for a reason and you don't end up anywhere in life by accident. Every point of arrival is the result of a crapload of choices made during the journey.
Ironically, the more successful you are in life, the less likely you are to have anybody else calling you on your b.s...
So...if you're going thru life with your eyes closed and not asking why? You've got to get off the excuses bandwagon and as Nike says...just "do it".
Why?
Because you're most likely holding too tight on your list of excuses waiting for that perfect opportunity one day...when you'll make the grade.
In your next article I'm going continue talking about "no excuses and no limits".
Bon voyage!
