Finding Ways to Eliminate Excuses
Posted 18th August 2013 at 01:44 PM by viveblog
People normally find excuses when they don’t like something. It does not matter how old you are, you will always find excuses to avoid certain things. When I was a kid I always found excuses for not having to eat broccoli. Other kids will pretend to be sick just because they don't want to go to school. However, parents are smart enough to understand what their kids are up to and will find ways to eliminate excuses by bargaining with them. “ OK if you eat the broccoli I will take you to the movie.”
Eliminate excuses for not exercising
Physical activity is important in your life irrespective how old you are. Some schools have made it mandatory for all students to have a minimum of 20 minutes of physical activity daily. Doctors recommend adults and older people to have some form of physical activity in order to reduce the risks of falling sick too often. However, some of us fall into the cracks and find excuses to avoid any form of physical activity. Popular excuses are “I am too busy”, “I have an exam tomorrow”, “my back hurts”. When this happens, you should prepare to counteract it in order to eliminate excuses. One of them could be “ if I help you with your work, this could free you up for some jogging today”.

Have you ever come across a situation where you have a staff meeting and surprising note that some of the staff are completely shut off.

The Magic of Eliminating Excuses
If you have no excuses ever, EVER, do you know what the beautiful thing is.
Somebody tells you some b..., and you just look at ‘em, and say: “You’re so full of s..,” and you just start laughing, and you can do it right in their face when they’re nervous, and not feel bad.
If you can’t take excuses from yourself, because you fight through everything, you automatically become powerful with those around you.
Automatically.
You’ve got to get clear, no excuses ever, you’ve got to decide to take action IMMEDIATELY when you learn something.
