I'm learning a lot through my years of living that
there are skills that we have, and there's abilities that
we have that are made to do something productive.
But there is one thing that we are all guilty of doing:
and that is making excuses as to why we can't do one
thing or another. Fear is a major factor behind the
failure of many ventures. Too many hardly get off
of the ground before they begin and that is simply
because the individual is far too concerned with
`what if's' rather than believing in a positive outcome.
Outside of fear, the biggest dream killer is
procrastination; the most deadly killer of all. We are
all guilty of falling prey to this silent predator, but it is
one such hindrance that can diminish our vision and
wear away at our determination to succeed.
The individuals who create major success within
their lives are those who never make excuses, never
put off what they could do today, for tomorrow. They
are opportunists, optimists and positive thinkers.
Their vocabulary is only concerned with the words
that assist them in making things happen. They are
achievers because they take chances and take steps,
when others will not.
Are you a procrastinator? Do you put aside things
time and time again, hoping that it will miraculously
complete itself? Are you scared of failing, are
you frightened of not succeeding and taking the
necessary steps to move yourself from where you are
to where you aspire to be.
The first step in changing your life is making the
decision that it is too painful to accept your current
circumstances and stay where you are already.
Where you currently stand in life needs to be as
uncomfortable to you as possible so that putting off
important goals to achieve is just not possible.
Whatever you want to achieve in your life, now is
the time to chase it and pursue it with passion and
increased determination. You have nothing to lose
and everything to win. Life is a game, but you will
only become the victor when you play hard and give
everything you've got.
The biggest achievers did not get to where they are
in life, waiting for things to happen or to them. They
went out there and they hit the ground head on.
Make today the day that you write down those goals
and take the necessary first step to attaining the life
that you have always wanted. Leave procrastination at
the door and step through fully focused on pursuing
your dreams to the fullest.
We all have something unique instilled in all of us
that we are meant to use for the greater good. That
something is what makes you stand out from the
rest of the people around you, and that something is
the same thing that shouldn't cause you to compare
yourself to anyone else!
