Live the life you want

Too often we have several excuses at our disposal which make it easier for us not to do what we feel we should. But instead of excuses, it would be better to have some reasons to succeed.

Stop being desperate and take control of your destiny: things needn't be so pessimistic. You are no weakling.

Are you afraid of failure? Then try to view life first and foremost as an opportunity. Your only fear should be a fear of success.

What if you should succeed and your life would change? You need to prepare for this and accept it as a real possibility.

So push yourself forward. But how?

The following common excuses, of which you should beware, were identified by the addicted2success.com website.

1. Risk aversion

The next time you are thinking of how awkward or scary it is for you to take a risk, ask yourself a simple question: would you go for it if you knew you were not going to wake up tomorrow?

2. You simply can't succeed because you don’t deserve to

Instead of thinking like this, adopt the mindset of successful people: you are successful and you can do it – or you can at least give it a try. Stop claiming that you need to be worthy of what you want or need. No more negative self-talk.

3. Lack of time

So you never have enough time? And how many hours do you spend watching TV or feeling sorry for yourself? No wonder you don’t have time for the truly important things.

Don’t waste time on things that only sap your energy. Toughen up and stop doing at least one of those unnecessary and lazy things.

4. I don’t know anything about this or that

So learn something about it. There is an abundance of information on the Internet: content from influential people, successful entrepreneurs or skilled bloggers. Find it and read it. Go for it; start chasing success.
