Action in place of excuses
It is easy to make up excuses to tell to yourself. For you
can choose to believe anything you say to yourself.<P>
But what do those excuses accomplish? Where do they take
you?<P>
It's easy to use your thinking to rationalize your way out
of taking action. Without much effort, you can think of
plenty of good, believable reasons for not making the
effort.<P>
At some point, though, you must ask yourself this question.
Do you want your life to be filled with excuses or with
accomplishment?<P>
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.<P>
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.<P>
And the more you take action, the more you will achieve.<P>
