Today is not defined by yesterday, but defined by what you are willing to defy from what is already in your past.

The moments spent second guessing, pondering if you should or should not, or the lost time and outcomes resulting from procrastination losses you another year, perhaps five years or even ten years of your life. Where are you today? Are you where you set your sails to achieve last year or years ago?

Those who challenge and bring on life face to face, those who defy the odds, invest sweat equity, live life consistently with their passion know failure is just a milepost along the path to success, while taking action each and every day live beyond the darkness of the past and the baggage many carry into their present.  The fact is living outside what is true to yourself and what completes you brings little reward in fulfilling your most fundamental needs and your soul.

1. An area people get stuck include issues involving money. What doesn’t work is ignoring it, and worse is to let money control you instead of you controling money. You can be fully connected with, acknowledge it , get back on the horse and keep riding.

Here are lyrics that sing true in many who see life only in the short term: “.. feel that sweet soft melody.  At first the words may not be clear, and as the dark clouds part she whispers in your ear. A rich man that might be poor, money is all that he has. Without love there’s nothing you can do..” [Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes].

Have you ever wondered why you do things (or don’t).. its not for the love of money it is for the love of what this means to you because money is just a means to an end. A truism is money cannot buy love; and do what you love and you’ll love what you do.

2. Another excuse people use is “not enough time”. Interesting how when something bigger than life or what is of immense value pops up, or your job depends on a deadline to get something done you find the time. You’d be amazed how many people perform better and with greater results when they have a deadline or are challenged to do allot in a short amount of time when to the contrary they do so little and produce small results when no deadline or threat is pending.

3. And a third excuse people use that effects them from reaching their fullest potential is not enough resources. There is a word called “synergy”. What this means is one can only do so much whereas the many can do so much more when working together. If you don’t have it, know it, etc. Then get others on board and ask. There are no excuse for not asking for help or suggestions when you alone cannot come up with the solution.

What this all means is your destiny is in your own hands. If something doesn’t get done or goes wrong it is easy to blame others. Perhaps you want to inspect your practices, procedures, and beliefs first before stepping any further into excuseville.

Excuses are just stories. Stop the stories in the areas of finding reasons why you can’t and you defy limiting beliefs and empower your destiny and outcomes while learning what you can. Experience life on your own terms. If you allow yesterday rule your life and you will reside there the rest of your life.

If what you have isn’t working or even worse, sabotaging your life, its a wake up call and time to get the show on the road with some new references.

Try something new today! .. and experience each and every day for the rest of your life. When you discover something that works use it and build upon it with even more powerful references and beliefs.
