Excuses or Accomplishments??

It is easy to make up excuses to tell to yourself. You can choose to believe anything you say to yourself. But what do those excuses accomplish? Where do they take you?

It's easy to use your thinking to rationalize your way out of taking action. Without much effort, you can think of plenty good, believable reasons for not making that effort.

At some point, though, you must ask yourself this question:
"Do I want my life to be filled with excuses or filled with accomplishments??"

In fact, each time you catch yourself thinking up an excuse or rationalization, ask yourself that question. Challenge yourself to consciously choose whether or not you wish to accomplish something everyday.

When you force yourself to look at it that way, the excuses will begin to look pretty silly and useless. The more you remind yourself of the value of accomplishment, the more you will take action instead of making up excuses.

And the more you take action, the more you will
achieve!!

So....What are you going to accomplish today??
