1 — I’ll do it later

But you never do it, do you? Procrastination is a killer. Run from it.

2 — I don’t have time to…

…exercise, read, write — whatever! We use this excuse way too much when we don’t want to make an effort!

If what you want to do matters, you make time for it.

3 — I cannot change

Here is another overused excuse to avoid the effort of making changes. Want a shift in your life? Take action!

4 — I’m not good enough

This one is self-defeating — how you feel is not who you are. But it’s still an excuse for not facing your insecurities.

5 — I have to do everything myself

No, you don’t, you unforgiving perfectionist! Your connections will gladly help you if they know what you need.

Any to add?
