Can"t Lives on Won"t Street
I listen to so many people when I ask them about there dreams make excuses for why they can't, or why they would, or what needs to happen in order for them to be able to.
People need to realize that their life can be anything they want it to be, and choose for it to be.
It is everything we choose for it to be, or better yet, don't choose it to be because no decision is a decision.
Excuses only get in the way.
Remember that can't usually means won't.
I can't because blah blah blah.
It would be better for people if they were at least honest with themselves and simply said I won't because it makes me uncomfortable.
Or even better, I won't because I don't want to do what it takes to get there.
It's much easier to simply settle for a much simpler life that I don't have to look at myself.
History is littered with stories of people who had every excuse in the book not to accomplish things.
They had every possible reason why they shouldn't be more, do more, have more, and they refused to settle for anything less than their best and highest potential.
For some reason, our society has taught us that as adults that failure is not acceptable.
This causes us to make excuses.
Yet if you were to think about it, there were thousands of times in your life that you failed and it was absolutely no big deal.
All of us fell over and over again trying to learn to walk.
Watch a baby as it learns to eat.
It doesn't put the food in it's mouth the very first time, and it takes just as long to learn to use silverware.
We didn't speak our first word the very first time we tried.
We weren't able to swim the very first time we were put into the swimming pool.
All of it took time and trying again and again and again.
The key to success at anything is to keep going.
To get back up every time we fall down.
To never make excuses for why we fail, but make excuses for why we succeeded.
Excuse yourself after you are where you want to go.
Apologize for accomplishing everything you wanted, then enjoy having done so.
Success knows no alibis.
So put all the reasons and the excuses behind you and move forward toward your goals and your dreams.
Go after what it is you want with a relentless chase.
Anyone can make excuses for why they can't, or won't do something.
Successful people don't have time for such nonsense.
Be part of the population that says can and will instead of can't because.
