What's your EXCUSE?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/12218772@N00/2761472020
Oh, how we love to make excuses!

In all honesty, we know that there are infinite possibilities. It’s actually scary sometimes, because, our dreams are not impossible but could really come true!!! 

It is just a matter of focusing our thoughts and acting on it and it will happen!

A very simple rule, and yet we seem to always have our excuse!

You know what the truth is? The truth is, we know it is not impossible, we are simply lazy. So we make our long list of excuses!

Right?

- It is more convenient for us to watch TV all day than start working on that project that we have long been thinking of.
- It is more fun to talk about another person’s marriage failure and problems than to start looking at our own and doing something about it.
- It is more easy and simple to live day in and day out asking for support from parents and relatives than to start our own living.

We are so good at making excuses that we are even able to make others around us believe that we have no more choice.

Crap. We always have a choice.

We will always have a choice. Let’s not wait for the doctor to tell us we only have so much time to live before we finally start doing what we really love! 

Shhhhhhhh … no more excuses, please!

    No one has excuse for not doing something he should have done. Regrets follow after one's failure to follow the right thing. Making excuses is no excuse for what happened.

    Yeah, all too often we don't actualize our potential because we hide behind our excuses. Some people are afraid to push themselves because of fear of failure; others are just lazy and would rather blame others for their failure.

    We make excuses to prove that others are correct. We make excuses to prove that we're like others who are irresponsible. We make excuses to prove that others are better than us. Making excuses does not make you credible and honest. Better keep your mouth shut to lessen your mistakes.

    Life is really a choice. For that matter,I can say that we are the captain of our own ship and the results of every decision that we make and the choices that we choose will reflect to the direction of the ship :)

    Some are just too dependent with others that they make their excuses. some people envy other's people successes and consider themselves unlucky but in reality they are just not pushing through what they wanted in life!!:)

    Yes, I do agree with you that we make a lot of excuses. We are what we are. We make our own destiny. We may have problems along the way, but we get that because it's a challenge, not a stumbling block.

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Vitamins for the Mind

Vitamins for the Mind   by Jim Rohn Results At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you. The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big. Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small—so you won't fit in them at age 25! There are some things you don't have to know how it works, only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on.    "Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of...

Jack of All Trades

My parents gave me all the opportunities to try and do different activities while growing up. I did ballet. I had swimming lessons ; I joined theatre arts ; I had piano recitals ; I learned bicycling; I played volleyball; I was one of the editors in our school paper. I was even a member of University Quiz Bee contest called "Pautakan", representing our college for 3 years! In high school, I admired students who could do Impromptu Speeches. You see, I could memorize long scripts, I could compose essays but to speak my mind in a contest? Whoa! I guess, I carried that thought - wishful thinking with me, even after college, that it led me to become a member of Toastmaster's International in Makati, Philippines and then here in Gallup, NM, USA! Do I still know how to ballet dance? Mmmm... Lol! Swim? Mmmm... not where I can't touch the floor or sand, OK?  hehe Play piano? Mmmm... I can do two piano pieces? Will that count? hahaha Act? Oh yes! Could...
