We will only fool ourselves dammit! I need just one more drag, I need to take a couple days off Im sore, I dont want to hurt anyones feelings so I will just keep living a lie. We will do ANYTHING to avoid the hard moments. We ALL do it, but for what? Why do we find the need to only fool ourselves. When we have an epiphany or are thinking clearly we know what we want to do. We know what Is best for us. Then we get hit like a taser to the chest with reason after reason to not complete or even begin to do what we so clearly know to be correct. We open our Rolodex of excuses and thumb through it at a frantic pace to find just the right amount of excuse to not succeed. The Rolodex is full of friends, usually there names are, time, not now, someday, cant, wont, dont know how, pressure, weakness, and so on and on they go. So who looses? Not the person next to you! Not anyone but YOU. When we get past initial shock phase, we tend to let our guard down, which makes us vulnerable to the attack of excuses. So we need to maintain we need to wake up and break down our steps one day, one hour or even less depending on the mission. Chip away, make progress and DO NOT ALLOW room for set backs! EVER! Set backs are the 1st cousin of excuses, they are blood they are the best of friends, one doesnt come without the other. Stay focused, and when you feel like giving up or not starting ask yourself what word In that Rolodex best describes why you are about to fail. I promise you its most likely one of the ones I listed above. You make your goals as hard as you want them to be. You make them harder when more then half of your brain is focused on not completing them. Recognize and defeat your way to a successful achievement. I assure you when the excuses are finished you will be holding a checkered flag!
