No Excuse!



People especially in this part of the world are quick to give excuse- reasons why they didn’t and can’t do what they ought to do and why they can’t achieve a dream. But I tell you: get out of that rut. Do away with that habit, because it’s not the habit of the ‘successful’. It’s a habit of the one who fails. I always like to define excuse as: a reason for failure. Every time you give an excuse, you are giving a reason for failure. You are giving a reason not to perform.
Remove all the excuse you would have given from you. Understand no excuse is ever good enough for not achieving your dream. But if you allow yourself, you will always find reasons why you can’t do what you ought to do. No one can stop you in life: the only person that can ever stop you is you. Go ahead and achieve your dreams. What would have been a limitation, use as a stepping stone: fuel your dream.
Go find out- poor people are always filled with excuses. They don’t give excuse because they are poor; rather they are poor because they give excuse. Every time a man manufacture excuses, he’s attracting failure. Decide, face your dragon, conquer the handicaps, hang up your hang ups, go ahead and produce results. The world doesn’t get attracted to failure and excuses; they only celebrate victory, success. No one will embrace or love you for your failure, so don’t think your excuse can work. It has never worked for any man.
The bible says, The lazy man is full of excuses. "I can't go to work!" he says. "If I go outside, I might meet a lion in the street and be killed!" (Prov 22:13TLB). He stays inside afraid of the unknown and gives reasons for failure. Why? Because he doesn’t understand; he doesn’t know. I used to think if only that man knews who he really is- that a bigger and greater lion actually resides in him. That greater (mightier) is He that is in him than he who is in the world. He will step out with confidence: and that’s why I am telling you this now. You can achieve anything you choose to. Go and do it.
