ELIMINATE EXCUSES - KJK Greek Philosopher Socrates said “To move the world we must first move ourselves.” Show me those who neglect to take responsibility for their own lives, and I’ll show you people who also lack drive for genuine success. Everyone experiences setbacks in one way or the other. We all face obstacles too. From time to time, we feel that the deck is stacked against us. Someone asserted “Life isn’t fair. It isn’t going to be fair. Stop sniveling or whining and go out and make it happen for you. In business I see too many people who expect the financial tooth fairy to come at night and remove that ugly dead tooth from under the pillow and substitute profitability just in the nick of time at the end of the fiscal year.” There is a saying that great souls have wills but feeble ones have only wishes. We cannot wish our way to success. We need to take responsibility and act. A Chinese philosopher concurred and said “If your deeds are unsuccessful, seek the reason in yourself. When your own person is correct, the whole world will turn to you.” Are you in denial about the consequences of not taking responsibility for yourself on that plan or project? Are you waiting for others to motivate you instead of working to motivate yourself? Are you waiting for everything to be perfect before you act? Are you fantasizing about tomorrow instead of focusing on what you can do today? As we begin the weekend, I want to challenge us to separate legitimate reasons from excuses. An excuse puts the blame on someone or something outside you. Excuses are like exit signs on the road of progress. They take us off the track. Take note that it is easier to move from failure to success than from excuses to success. ELIMINATE THOSE OBVIOUS EXCUSES. Ask yourself this weekend: what are the excuses I have been giving myself this past years that has stopped me from moving to the next phase of my life? You will be amazed at the bright light that will shine on your path afterwards.
