Stop Making Excuses

Don't. Click. Anything.

Stop for a second and think. What was the last excuse you made before reading this?

Are you about to make an excuse right now so you can get back to Facebook or your email?

Stop. Just stop.

No more excuses. You've been making them too often and for too long.

Excuses lead to regret. Plain and simple.

What have your excuses kept you from doing (and ultimately experiencing) in your life? Have you missed countless open doorways that might have led you to a new job, a larger paycheck, or a bigger smile on your face? How would you know? You're too busy making excuses! Right?

This, my friend, is the road to regret. And it's staring you right in the face, laughing at you.

Excuses lead to regret. Plain and simple.

Hence why I'm telling you to STOP. I truly and desperately am working my rear-end off so that I can help as many people as possible live a life without suffering, without regret, and without excuses.

Why? Because I know what regret is. I let it be my teacher for such a long time that I've learned my lesson. And now, I regret nothing... absolutely nothing in my life. Every experience, good or bad, is an opportunity just waiting for me to learn from. The same is true for all of us.

So what excuse did you make today? What story did you tell yourself so that you can stay on the side of the line where it says comfort? And what are you gonna do about it?

The first thing you should do is check out the podcast we just recorded for you (Ep3.5 - Stop Making Excuses) available through the following links. And leave us a comment telling us what excuses you're giving up now that you've read this! We'd love to hear your story!
