"Being creative is enough."

There Are Many Excuses For Failure But None For Success

People Find A Million Of Excuses To Not Succeed

First of all let me just say that this is mostly addressed to myself, because it is a practice I have used for way to many years.  Excuses will destroy your life or at the very least set limits on it.  Any kid will search for a litany of excuses when asked by a parent why they didn’t do something,  for instance lets say clean up their room. They are the master excuse makers and basically there are two kinds of parents, the ones who buy the excuses and let them off the hook or the parents who don’t allow for it.  Either the room is clean or not.  If the room is cleaned then the parent will never ask why it got cleaned up.  If the room is still a mess, this will always produce the question, ”Why didn’t you clean up your room like I told you?”

If parents get tired of kids asking them questions like why does the sun always come up in the same place everyday, then kids tire even more quickly when asked to explain why something has or hasn’t happened.  But, the question never occurs when something is done that needed doing.  This is the fastest way for kids to end the never ending prodding of parents, which means, the sooner they take over their responsibility the sooner the parents stop getting on their nerves.

Excuses Come In Handy To Avoid Doing Something That Would Benefit Yourself

We are nothing but grown up kids.  Grown-ups do the exact same thing and if you do it long enough it becomes natural.  Excuses will serve you when you are faced with challenging self help tasks like eating a healthy diet or exercising.  But there are no excuses necessary when you do something that will benefit yourself or others.  There is no more squirming out a lame excuse like ”I didn’t have time” or ”I’ll do it tomorrow.”   All of the excuses in the world will not get anything done, yet the nature is to wiggle out of something because of some lame excuse.

Actually, excuses are the source of many lies.  When charting out the course of making excuses you are involved in a criminal mind set, you are trying to work the system to not do something and make everyone, including yourself, believe that you are actually doing something you are not.  In essence, excuses are lies.  White lies, maybe, but that is a very slippery slope and the only person hurt by it is the one making the excuses.

The Main Reason People Don’t Do Something Is Not Because They Don’t Want To But Because There Is A Common Popular Excuse Which Makes It Sound Life An Acceptable Reason.

Look, I know what I am talking about here.   Achievement in any area is a challenge and if you achieve you will get noticed.  There are many reasons why people don’t want to or don’t achieve, but the main reasons for not achieving are always the same, because 95% of the population has a list of lame excuses why it is OK not to achieve or not to want to achieve anything.  All you have to do is go to that famous list and pull the ones out that fit your needs and the world agrees with you!  It is popular to use those excuses because nearly everyone is using the same excuses and need to find support for their position.

It is a conspiracy of the masses to undermine achievers but true achievers won’t be discouraged by these naysayers.  Funny thing about people who want to achieve and achieve things in life, they don’t have a list of excuses to draw from because they don’t need it nor do they blame others or circumstances for things that may limit their success.

When I suggest doing a business for the purpose to make money the number one response is ”I can’t do that.”  I know, it is my response and the ”I can’t do that crowd” is agreeing to a life of limitations because of it.  It is OK to make peanuts and worry about triple coupon day at the grocery store. and to live your life cutting coupons and making the absolute minimum in income because that is the absolute maximum of what an employer is willing to pay you.

If one is happy with that, what is wrong with it?  The reason is because that this thought in  itself is an excuse not to do something. It is a lie and a statement about yourself that neither empowers you nor builds confidence.  Instead it insures dependency and a feeling of vulnerability that without something or someone else you can’t make it on your own.

I’m aware that everyone is not capable to do certain things, but if we are grasping at lame excuses for reasons not to do something, then we are lying to ourselves and not contributing the most we have to the world.

I have been through it just writing this blog, using excuses to not do it everyday, like, I don’t feel good today or I didn’t have anything to say.  Doing the business is the same way, a million and one excuses to not achieve anything.  It is a freaking lie-festival and the only one suffering is me.

So what is your excuse for not clicking on one of the banners or here to enter your email address and find out more about this system and the possibility to make life changing income on the internet.  What excuses do you use everyday to get yourself out of doing something that needs to get done?  Nothing is important in life except results, even if they are negative, but results are not going to be achieved unless the excuses and lies stop.

If you are tired of keeping track of your excuses, take action and all of the mind tricks about why you aren’t living the life you want will no longer be necessary.  Life gets incredibly simple when you stop trying to figure out an excuse for everything that isn’t right in life.
