The Importance of Cutting Excuses

Reducing excuses plays a crucial role in enhancing personal effectiveness and productivity. Victims often make excuses that hinder their ability to achieve high energy and complete tasks efficiently. By consciously deciding to cut excuses in half, individuals can create more space for commitment and action in their lives. This mindset shift not only boosts personal performance but also enables individuals to contribute positively to their families and communities.

Overcoming Excuses to Foster Action and Success

2min

We have been programmed to play small. To live within the box society has handcrafted for us. To think, be and do like everyone else. Sad. Scary.

This causes heartbreak. We forget all we truly are. We escape into distraction and diversion. We neglect our purpose. We die, while still alive.

But to unfear.

To do the things that scare us and haunt us and taunt us. To hug the monster and slay the dragon. To me, this is what true success and outright greatness is all about.

So allow me to ask you, how will you exploit this day?

To walk into the valley of darkness and embrace your limits. To say yes to your usual nos. To do what your weakest told your finest self was impossible. To stand in the sunlight of your courage, conviction and heroism.
