Reframing Excuses

"Here are some reframing questions that you can try on your excuses. Think of your biggest excuse for not succeeding at something, and apply these questions to it

• Are you saying that I should encourage you to fail because your excuse is valid?
• Are you saying that you should encourage me to fail if I have your same excuse?
• Has there ever been someone in history who has succeeded in spite of your excuse?
• How might someone who has succeeded at your goal think about your excuse?
• What’s your life going to be like 5 years from now if you believe this excuse?

Apply these questions to your excuse for success and see how they work. And on a final note, just remember that the true movers and shakers of the world make no excuses for themselves, and thus, they don’t apologize for their success because they’ve earned it."
