Excuses, Excuses & What to Do About Them (1-5 Of20)
We all have fabulous reasons why we have not taken action. It feels good at first, but at the end of the day problems arent solved, bills arent paid and we really just simply justify not taking action.
Were going to take a look at some popular reasons for not taking action and then were going to turn the excuses upside down. For every excuse we have a compelling answer to counteract it and that leaves us with a powerful list of reasons to take action now.
Its not comfortable
Cows go round and round inside a skimpy fence. They would have instant freedom if they simply blew on the slight barrier. Thats the epitome of suffering from comfort. Yeah, its uncomfortable to take action. I remember being in college and the relief when that final exam was over. And the thing is... it really wasnt that big a deal. See, we often psych ourselves out before we even take action. You are capable of much more than the cow syndrome. You have great possibilities to explore and to do so you have to get your hands dirty. The worse feeling in the world is I wish I would have at least tried. A little discomfort now is much less painful than the regret youll feel if you never take action. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND START MAKING A DIFFERENCE. Yes, Im Talking to You.
I Dont Deserve To Succeed
You are the best there is. Inside of you is the potential to do, or be, or have anything you desire. No one has more than that. Ford said If
you think you can or you cant... youre right. If you start to take action right now, you will begin on your path to success. It doesnt
matter what you situation is right now - personal, financial, social or whatever else - once you simple start you have already begun the change.
And there is no greater success than that. Making a decision is the answer to all problems. No one can hold you back if you are determined enough, and by the same token no one can do it for you. Step up, take the challenge, have confidence and do whatever it takes. You deserve the best that life has to offer. Do whatever needs to be done to make it happen.Yep, Im Talking To You.
Its No Fun
Did you ever decide not to go to that party/function and the next day you heard all
the stories of the great time people had. You wont ever know if something is fun if you dont give it a try. Now I have to be honest, there are
some things I just know wont be fun for me. Others, I have at least given a try. (Ill tell you about my skydiving experience another time)
So look towards the end, toward accomplishment and the fun that journey will be. (ok, I have great accomplishment stories too) Dont discount
just because you really dont know. Get in there and make it fun. Do it your way. Oh Yeah, Im Talking To You.
Im Too Busy
I hear people say this all the time. And I wonder how they have so much time to watch all those tv shows that they must see every week. Stop being busy... being busy. Evaluate your priorities, be focused and direct your action. Anyone can be busy. Accomplishment requires more than just
burning up time. It demands action and results. Stop being busy and start doing something today. Yes, Im Talking To You.
I Cant Decide
Oh my goodness. ok, so if you cant decide you may have a few viable opportunities in front of you. Evaluate them all objectively, honestly and
sincerely. And than pick one. Dont get caught in analysis paralysis. That is the worse state to be in.... Stuck. Make a decision and move forward. Do we always make the best decisions the first go round? Of course not, but we figure it out and we continue to more forward. The best decision is the one that gets you where you want to go, so pick one and make it work. Geez, Im Talking To You.
