Rid yourself of excuses.
The more successful a person is the fewer excuses they make, the less successful a person is correspondingly the more excuses they make. All the excuses are made by a person who fails, could be made by a "Winner", but are not. Poor health, lack of education, bad luck and either being too young or too old are all excuses a loser might make, and are all probably open for the winner, who has overcome them.
The problem is, making excuses becomes a habit and the more excuses that are made the easier and easier it becomes to make more. The person who is in the habit of making excuses will often make an excuse for failure, even before something new is attempted, dooming anything they do to failure before it has begun. Each time a person makes an excuse it gets embedded in the mind, and the more often it is used it gets placed in the subconscious and ends up becoming a disease of the mind that is very difficult to cure.
Some of the common excuses are:
Poor Health
Lack of intelligence
Too young or too old
Bad luck
Here are a few ways to combat some of these excuses:
Poor Health
Don't feel sorry that your health is that way that it is, just
consider, however poor your health is, there is always someone else
who is worse, and you can bet they have achieved far greater things
by not making excuses about their health. Be grateful for the health
you have. Never talk about your health. Successful people don't
discuss their poor health. They know that people are only interested
in themselves and that many of them would be pleased you had poor
health in the first place. It’s a bad habit to talk about your poor
health and it bores people.
Don’t worry about your health or constantly think about yourself having poor health. So many people worry about having poor health when quite often there is nothing wrong with them, and constant worrying may trigger the Law of Attraction and bring about they problem they are worrying about. Don’t pass up living and what you are capable of by thinking yourself into a hospital bed.
Lack of intelligence
Concentrate on your talents and focus on your own mental
assets. Don’t sell yourself short of underestimate yourself, and do
not overestimate the intelligence of others. It’s not how much brain
power that you have, it’s how you use your brain power that counts.
It’s much better to be creative and develop new ideas than memorize
facts.
Remind yourself it’s much better to think positively than worry about your own lack of intelligence.
Develop a positive attitude about yourself and stop worry about whether you are bright or not.
Too young or too old
Think of your current age in a positive light. Consider yourself old
enough now, or that you are still young with many productive year
ahead of you.
Stop thinking I should have started years ago, and consider your best years are yet to come. Invest your time ahead by doing the things you really want to do and not what other people want you to do. It’s never too late and it’s never too soon.
Work out how many years of productive life you have ahead of you. Remember life begins at 40, and if you are 40 you have probably got at least another 20 years of productive work ahead of you. Think how much you can do in 20 years, and how much you have done in the last 20 years.
Bad luck
Have a look at someone you know who seems to be blessed with good
luck. Study them and you will find they get their good luck by
planning, preparation and thinking positively and they never leave
things to chance.
Don’t gamble or dream you will win the lottery and don’t be just a wishful thinker. Be action orientated, the more you do and the more tings things your start, the more luck will come your way.
