“The ones who find happiness are the ones who don’t make excuses. If it’s broken, they fix it, if it’s wrong they make it right.” -Anonymous
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you? Sit with that thought for a moment and be honest with yourself...
Iyanla Vanzant talks about excuses in her book “Until Today.” She made a powerful statement to think about as we continue the journey toward inner peace:
I will know peace, when I stop finding excuses for what I am not doing.
If you notice you are not where you’d like to be ask yourself this question:
What am I afraid of that makes me stay here? Think about that for a moment... Don’t rush... let it sink in...
We’ve all made excuses from time to time. We’re human. If the excuses are hindering ones progress toward success and Peace of Mind, perhaps it’s time to make a change.

1. Take responsibility: You alone control your destiny. As Tony Robbins puts it, “The past does not equal the future unless you live there.” No matter what has happened to you in the past, your future is up to you.
2. Shift your perspective: See that problems are opportunities, not obstacles. Everything that has happened in your life brought you to this moment – and you can either transform your life or keep making excuses.
3. Uncover your limiting beliefs: If you believe deep down that you’re not deserving of success or that you don’t have the inner strength to overcome failure, you’ll continue making excuses to avoid going after what you really want.
4. Change your story: Identify negative self-talk and replace any limiting beliefs with empowering ones. When you change your words – and your story – you change your life.
5. Find the lesson: Look closely at your mistakes and determine what went wrong. There are valuable lessons that failure can provide. Successful people look for the lesson and apply it to future decisions.
6. Stop overthinking: The ability to make tough decisions is a top trait of great leaders and an essential skill for everyday life, but many people who make excuses suffer from “analysis paralysis.” To stop making excuses, you must stop overthinking, let go of the past and take massive action.
7. Define your vision: Go back to the drawing board and examine your blueprint for your life. What do you really want? Create a powerful vision that you’ll be proud to follow, and you’ll never make an excuse again.
8. Set goals: Working toward actionable goals forces you to stop making excuses and start creating a compelling future. Start small and set achievable SMART goals. As you build confidence, set bigger and bigger goals.
9. Get support: Hold yourself accountable for your actions. Get support from a trusted friend or your significant other. Better yet, find a mentor, join a mastermind group, or connect with a professional coach. They’ll have the experience and training needed to keep you accountable and productive.
