Motivation Monday; Stop the Excuses

                           



“Excuses are the nails used to build the house of failure.” – Jim Rohn


   I’m too tired, I’m too busy, I don’t feel like it, it’s too difficult, and I’m not sure I can do it are all excuses. Excuses keep you from building the house of your dreams. They keep you from the house of success. Examine the times when you have wanted to do something important in your life and didn’t like go back to school, start a business, write a book, find a new job, or rebuild a torn relationship. Why didn’t you do those things? What excuses did you make to keep from doing it?
   After looking back on this how many excuses were valid. You may have called them reasons. There is a difference between reasons and excuses. Reasons are something out of your control that temporarily keep you from doing something. However, reasons don’t stop you like excuses do. Excuses are self-created that ultimately stop you from growing and moving forward in your life.
   Excuses are destructive because they have a great impact on your self-confidence because they will keep you right where you are if you let them. Instead of making excuses not to do something wonderful with your life find reasons TO DO IT. When you look for reasons to accomplish something you will find your life significantly more prosperous and joyful.

   Whatever it is that you want to do to change your life start now. Don’t make excuses. Just go for it. Don’t be afraid to fail because if you just make excuses and do nothing then you are in the same place you’re in now and won’t get out of life everything it has to offer. Try it!
