Your Excuses Get You Nowhere
“Your excuses get you nowhere.
They just keep you where you already are.
We tend to make so many excuses for why we don’t follow our dreams and visions. Most of them seem quite legitimate and reasonable. But if you want to fulfill your dream, you have to be a little unreasonable.
If you listen to your mind’s made up excuses, it will keep you paralyzed and procrastinating forever.
If you listen to those naysayers, it will cost you your dreams and waste your precious time.
So, what excuses are you making for not pursuing your dream?
I don’t have enough time.
I don’t know how.
I don’t have the right connections.
I don’t have enough money.
I have to many real responsibilities to take care of.
I understand you have responsibilities in life. A mortgage. A job. Children. All well and great. Just make sure you don’t allow them to stop you from following your real heart’s vision. Sometimes due to our fear of stepping into our greatness or next level, we will unconsciously create structures in our life to be responsible for as a way to stay busy or to self-sabotage our ability to move forward with our dream. All this does is keep you trapped doing what you think you need to do to survive, rather than following your dream. It’s a sneaky trap.” via How I Met Steven Spielberg…Your Excuses Get You Nowhere. Commitment Is The Key!.
