What Excuses Do You Make?
Category: Motivation | Posted: 12-29-08Excuses are easy to come by. And the crazy thing is that when we make excuses for ourselves we really believe that there was some amazing reason that we couldn’t do something. How many of these excuses have you made?
- I don’t feel like it.
- I ache when I do it.
- I’m getting results as fast as I want anyway.
- I don’t feel good today.
- I’m just not motivated.
- People will look at me if I do it wrong.

We’ve all made excuses. But you’ll notice that the people that really achieve something in life are the ones that don’t make the same excuses others make. Instead, they focus on what they want and they go out and get it.
Here’s an awesome ad by Nike. When I first saw this ad I thought it was incredibly motivating. I hope you find it motivating as well. And if you do, leave a comment below and let me know what you thought.

I’ve made those ones, too. I don’t think anyone is immune to making excuses, but some are much better at not worrying about them. Thanks for the comment!

Today i really am sick. But that’s even more motivation to take good care of my body, and eat healthy. The weirdest excuse i make is…I just showered and don’t want to get all sweaty and have to shower again. Heaven forbid i have two showers in one day =)

That’s a pretty good one
I know what you mean though, but when you look at it that way it really is just another excuse!
