Don't Fight for your Excuses


“I can’t be better than I am at work”. “ I don’t have the time to exercise”. “I can’t do this project (or reach that dream) because it’s too hard/scary/impractical”. It’s so easy very human to fight for your excuses. And the more you fight for them, the more they own you. Don’t feed what you don’t want. Let them go. And step into your power.

“We have forty million reasons for failure – but not a single excuse”, observed Rudyard Kipling. Successful people don’t make excuses. They create results. And no great like was ever built on a foundation of excuses. So stop making them. Most of them are self-created delusions, designed to help you avoid doing the things that you are afraid to do. Yes, beneath every excuse lives a fear. A fear of changing. A fear of the unknown. A fear of failure. A fear of success.

Today can be the day you burn the bridges that lead to your excuses (please do). Today can be the day you step up to the possibilities that lie just off the beaten path of your life. Today can be the day you Lead Without Tittle. And access your genuine greatness.

“No great life was ever built on a foundation of excuses. So stop making them”
