As the quote says, “Be stronger than your excuses.” The person who wrote this quote understands that excuses are powerful, but you have to be stronger than them.
Where there is strength, there is also weakness. We all have both.
I’m a writer. I get inspiration at night, but I also love sleeping. I discovered that my biggest excuse was that the nights were meant for sleeping. However, I proved to myself that I am stronger than my excuses! I am stronger than this obstacle. Of course, excuses and obstacles exist, but I started setting an alarm at night to wake up. When the alarm rings, I sometimes feel like not getting up, but my dreams must wake me up.
Excuses are valid, but don’t allow them to take charge of your life because they are meant to slow down your progress. If you let excuses control your life, they will hold you back. Instead of giving them power, find ways to overcome them. Excuses are like obstacles that prevent you from achieving your dreams and goals. They can turn five years of progress into thirty-five years of delay.
Some excuses create themselves, while others are the ones we make for ourselves. We make excuses because we fear failure or find something too hard. Some people say, “It’s too hard. I’ll try tomorrow,” “It’s too risky,” “I don’t have time,” or “What if I fail?” and much more. All of these are negative thoughts that can prevent us from achieving success.
All excuses are genuine, that is what makes them powerful. They come from genuine challenges, fears, or limitations we believe we cannot overcome. That is why they have control over us. Excuses are genuine, but in reality, they are obstacles we create within ourselves.
If you let excuses take charge of your life, you are a failure because they will hold you back from taking action and getting things done. They will delay your success and hinder your progress. If you keep making excuses, you won’t stay consistent in your efforts. Consistency is a secret to long-term success why Inactivity is a secret to long-term failure.
Excuses are like fertilizer. The more you feed your mind with them, the more failure takes root in your life. If you want to succeed, you must be stronger than every excuse that comes your way.
Why not turning your excuses into discipline? Instead of finding reasons not to act, choose to be disciplined and take action. Excuses will make today easier, but make tomorrow harder. Discipline might be tough today, but it leads to an easier and better future.
Many dreamers across the world have give up on their dreams just because they want to stay comfortable. They make excuses to avoid challenges, and choosing comfort over long-term success. Excuses make it easy to avoid challenges and obstacles today, but they create great difficulties in the future.
Before leaving here, ask yourself this: Will I make excuses today for the sake of comfort, or will I be disciplined enough to take action and create a better future? The choice is yours.
Don’t give excuses a space to control your dream, your life, and your destiny! They will ruin it all for you. Prove that you are stronger than excuses by kicking each one that comes your way.
