I’m just not feeling it today, it’s raining, it’s cold, I’m too sleepy, I’m not ready, I’ll do it tomorrow, next week, next year…sounds like you?
Not only that you’re finding excuses but you’re also thinking of things you can do in order to avoid what you really should be doing don’t you?
Sometimes even if there’s something you can do, and know how to do it, you still find an excuse to put it off. And yes even if you like what you have to do you’re still looking for an excuse not to do it.
But why?
You know you want it right? You know what you should be doing but instead of doing what needs to be done you keep on making excuses.
None of those excuses will help you achieve what you want. They will only take you further away from your goals.
Stop Waiting! Start Doing
You keep on waiting for the perfect time, moment, day, for the rain to stop, for the sun to shine but all you’ll achieve it will be lost time.
Stop saying you don’t have time, that you’re not good enough. Stop holding yourself back, saying next week, next year, postponing forever and ending up in the same place every time, feeling bad, unhappy and stuck.
The only way to get unstuck is to take some action, make some changes!
Instead of doing things you don’t like that keep you away from your goals, focus your attention on what you can do everyday to get closer to your goals.
Instead Of Looking For An Excuse Look For A Way To Do It
Most of the time things are so simple but we tend to complicate them. Try to see things like they truly are. Stop complicating them by overthinking and overanalysing and running away from them.
True, some excuses may be real but that should not hold you back. Even if you’re in a rock bottom situation, just sitting there and refusing to do something won’t make things better.
Dreaming and wanting is not enough. You need to make some changes, take some action.
Look at all the people who are really successful and doing things you would like to do…you think they would still be there if excuses would be on their everyday list?
If you truly want something and you feel it in your heart…go for it!
