Stop Making Excuses in Your Life
The first quarter of 2022 is now coming to an end. As you walk into the second quarter, you have to realize that if you’re still making excuses, you are holding yourself back. Making excuses might make you feel better temporarily, but it keeps you where you are and from getting to where you want to go.
What excuses are you making right now?
What lies are you believing that you’ve told yourself over and over?
What lies are you believing that someone has told you about yourself?
IT’S TIME TO FACE THE FACTS AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
If you want to be successful in life, make this commitment: NO EXCUSES. Ever.
Challenge yourself for the second quarter to take responsibility for everything that happens in your life. Everything.
Ask yourself the following questions….
⁃ “How did I create that?”
⁃ “What were my beliefs?”
⁃ “How did I get that person to act that way?”
⁃ “What do I need to do next time to get my desired results?”
…instead of looking to point a finger of blame. "You can either take responsibility or play the blame game," Effective Living page 34.
The principle of 100% responsibility sounds simple and basic. However, it’s not always easy, and too many people live their lives in a mediocre way and without getting close to reaching their full potential because they fail to take responsibility.
IT IS OFTEN EASIER TO PASS THAT RESPONSIBILITY TO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ELSE.
What traps keeps us from taking responsibility?
The three biggies are…
⁃ Blame,
⁃ Excuses, and
⁃ Complaining.
The only way you’re going to live life effectively is to stop making excuses and take ownership of your life and situation.
You do not want to live a unfulfilled life. You do not want to have any regrets. You do not want to not live in your purpose. Do what it takes to stop making excuses.
YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE BECAUSE OF ALL THE DECISIONS YOU’VE MADE IN YOUR LIFE UP UNTIL NOW! Where will you go next?
