Excuses are your way of avoiding to do what you need to do to succeed. Often excuses are legitimate reasons for why you won’t do what is necessary. To succeed and progress,AVOID EXCUSES! Articles you need to eliminate as many excuses as possible. Until your excuses are eliminated they remain as insurmountable barriers between you and the life plan you desire:… You fill in the blanks.

Doctor’s excuses are some of the most legitimate excuses in our world:

“I am following doctor’s orders!”

These five words allow people to give up many of the options, opportunities and responsibilities available to them. “I would do “It” “BuT” I can’t because the doctor ordered me not to. I am not bad, lazy, or irresponsible. I am not procrastinating, or avoiding. I am not doing “It” because the doctor said I can’t!” All personal responsibility has been waived because of a doctor’s excuse and a doctor’s order. You get the picture. Usually the excuse is legitimate and time limited. It can become a way of avoiding life. Whenever possible, it is essential to see past your doctor’s excuse and to create an endgame where your life and success are thriving again.

There are many other legitimate excuses that get in our way of living the life we would like to live: “

  I don’t have the time to…”

We all have the same amount of time: 24/7 for as long as we live. The problem isn’t lack of time. It is lack of time management, priority management “bUt” especially choice and opportunity management. Many of us have the luxury of choices in our lives with the ability to actualize these choices when they are part of a well thought out, well executed and well supported plan. For those of us that choose have the life of our choosing, it is incumbent upon us to eliminate our excuses about lack of time and focus on priority and opportunity management.

  I don’t know What to do or How to do “It”!

Ignorance is another overused excuse. Sometime there is no way to find out What needs to be done or How to do “It”. Usually that is not the case. Most of life has been discovered and often perfected by others around you. Allowing ignorance to prevail gives away your opportunity for success and allows this false belief, this excuse to prevail. Develop a support system you can trust; support that will challenge you to succeed without enabling your excuses. Volunteer to accept their challenge. Ignorance dissipates quickly with timely and appropriate information. So does ambiguity.

My family and friends don’t support me.

Please pay attention to your Big truth. Usually family and friends care about your well being “BuT” at times don’t understand your Big picture. Listen to their caring “bUt” discuss your Big picture with people of giving you an objective and expert opinion. Don’t let others be your excuse and dictate your opportunities or your future.
