To Be Successful, Stop Buying Your Own Excuses

To Be Successful, Stop Buying Your Own Excuses

Another success principal that I have applied to my life is "I won't buy my own excuses".

How often in life have you really wanted to do something and a challenge gets in the way of your achievement, so you buy your own excuse and give up.....

For instance, let's say that you want to lose weight. You set the goal, and are motivated and excited about what you want to accomplish. A week or two into the goal and challenges come up....you have cravings, you go to a friends for dinner and they serve something that is not on your diet menu, you eat at restaurants for lunch and it is too hard to stick to your diet....the list of excuses goes on and on.

Bottom line is if you really want to reach the goal, and you are passionate about it, you have got to stop buying your own excuses. You are the only one that believes them anyway. You can't expect to reach the goal (in this case - lose weight) if you are going to let these little challenges get in the way. You must want to be thin more than you want to eat the thing that isn't on your list of acceptable menu items.

So whether you are looking to create success in business or in personal life situations, you must learn to stop buying your own excuses, get out of your own way and commit to yourself. Take a stand for what you REALLY want, and then don't let ANYTHING get in the way!
