Sadly, I think excuses are the biggest self-sabotaging act of our lives, and yet so many people run into them. It’s not until you REALIZE that excuses are created by US, not OTHERS, that you can understand that most of the times it’s yourself holding you back, not some outside force.

Right on! Get to the bottom of your limiting beliefs by asking questions and exposing their flaws. After we have no more excuses and limiting beliefs, then we have a clear path toward positive action and a fulfilled life.
Thanks!

Great post on how to kick excuses out of your life! Got to know about this post through Blisstree’s blog carnival by the way. The very first step in eliminating excuses is to be aware that they exist, which could be achieved by reading this post. Also, I think some people actually know that they’re giving excuses to themselves, but choose not to deal with it because they’re still in their comfort zone. They need a change in their mindset, and you’ve done a wonderful job. Keep the great work Vincent!

Excuses are usually fear based. They’re just a way to somehow justify to ourselves that not taking action is ok.

Example based on your above post:

I don’t want to start a business because:

– I’m too young
– I don’t have enough money
– I don’t have enough time
– I don’t know how
– etc.

Underlying all of these excuses is fear. Fear creates self-doubt, which stops our growth. This kind of questioning can creep up on you. If I find it happening to myself I usually turn the question around and I find that there is nothing to be worried about:

– Am I really too young? Today is the first day of the rest of my life, so why not start now?
– Why don’t I have enough money? Can I cut out some expenses? What action can I take to get the money I need?
– Do I really not have enough time? Where am I wasting time? If this is important, how can I free up more time in my life to make it work?
– How can I learn so I do know how to do it? What small steps can I take to gain more knowledge?

See how it works? Turn the excuses around and force yourself to answer questions. Take actionable steps. It’s only by doing that we change.

Good post Vincent. I’m sure most of us are guilty of occasionally using these excuses like not enough money or not enough time. Very rarely are these excuses legitimate. Still I like to use the money excuse to help maintain a livable budget.

Hey Vincent.

Those excuses sure are garbage. I have seen that when you remove the item that the excuse is attributed to, you find out the person wasn’t being held back by it, but by their own thinking. This is why that “if I only had more time” argument has no merit in the majority of cases. Solid message in this article.
