#4 Avoid Excuses

“You can’t make money making excuses.”

-unknown

Losers makes excuses; winners makes progress.

In the middle of doing something, it is inevitable to face a problem. When we don’t know what to do or how to deal with it, we tend to stop and find an easy exit, thinking that the need to do the task will disappear. Sounds familiar? Excuses. This will not lead us to the finish line.

Do not start a project and leave it unattended. That is like an unopened letter and was not read at all. It defeats the purpose of why you did it in the first place.

One thing to motivate yourself whenever you feel lazy is to ask yourself: “Is there anyone who has the same excuse as mine who is successful right now?” If the answer is no. You have to start doing something relevant to your goals.

You want to accomplish something? You have to start NOW. Put your best foot forward to achieve your goals. Don’t procrastinate, making up excuses is a sign of failure. If you fail at first, that’s okay. Keep moving.

 Fail is a verb, it will only be a noun when you stop, and therefore it becomes failure.

“There are only two options regarding commitment, you’re either in or out. There’s no such thing as life in between.”
