Doing What You Love Is Only Possible When You Stop Making Excuses.

Too many people have dreams but fall prey to the belief that they can’t accomplish them. It may be that they don’t have the equipment they want, the money they think they need or they have not yet been introduced to the right people.

However, these are all just excuses people make to justify not wanting to get uncomfortable in the process of making possible something they truly desire.

Stop Putting Off Things You Claim You Want To Do

This is one time you definitely don’t want to procrastinate. The moment you decide you want to do or to attain something, make a move — no matter how small it is — to start working toward the goal.

Once you start waiting, it’ll only get easier and easier to push off chasing your dreams for later. Procrastination doesn’t turn goals into realities.

If You Don’t Have It, You Didn’t Really Want It

If you’ve wanted something for a period of time, don’t yet have it and aren’t any closer to getting it, you won’t be able to convince anyone that you ever really wanted it.

People understand that they must do what they have to, need to and can do to get something they want. They also understand that they need to be patient and keep putting in the work, no matter how slow the progress is for attaining something desirable.

You See Opportunities But Pay Them No Attention

Every single day, opportunities fly right past you; it’s just a matter of being able to acknowledge them. Too many of us fail to understand that every single occurrence is an opportunity. Whether the situation looks good or bad, there is a way to shift it to your advantage and inch closer toward achieving a goal.

So, start being more appreciative of the things that piss you off and understand that amidst the annoyances, you have amazing opportunities for greatness before you.

You Need To Make The First Move Before Life Puts Out

Don’t think that life will send things your way unless you put in the effort; it will send back whatever you do in it, in spades, so long as you do your part.

Whether you want to sit down on the couch and watch TV or go out and work toward becoming the richest person in the world, once you start making moves toward your goal, life will follow suit.

Too many people make too many excuses for not being able to make things happen the way they want them to happen. Generally, though, these are the same people who play the victim card whenever they “can’t catch a break.”

They get jealous when they see other people who press hard after their goals, making progress. Know that it doesn’t matter how small of an advance you make; small is always better than nothing. Any move toward your goal is more than good enough because it is forward-moving and productive.

Stop making excuses and start making moves. You’re only waiting for yourself.

NO MORE EXCUSES,DO WHAT YOU LOVE!

small is always better than nothing

1 is better than Zero like GaryVee tags it.

Every single day, opportunities fly right past you; it’s just a matter of being able to acknowledge them.

I can relate to this, I missed out on a few things that could have done it me for because I wasn't seeing the whole picture and was laser-focused on what I was doing at the time.
In my opinion, it's more of a skillset either learned or innate to see and not just see but convert opportunities into great outcomes -

Opportunism!!! (and no, it's not a negative word).
@elsiekjay you rock, re-steemed and upvoted.

For most of my life, when trying to reach a goal, say financial independence, there's always been another step that needs to be taken, and then another, and then another. It's like each successive step is't quite it.

However, I think I'm starting to see it here on Steemit.

I do have to say, I've learned something about each step along the way, as well as some perseverance. At some point, there's a need to recognize that what you want isn't meant to be, or the way you're doing it needs to change drastically, but it usually takes more than a day or two of hard work. It can take weeks or months to discover you need a new plan.

And it can take years before you realize your desire. So, well, said.

Thank you for posting this. It was nice to read more of your posts because I haven't been by enough. It's totally true how we're usually in our own way. We can be our own worst enemy.

Hi Omi :)
So glad to see you stopping by. I am glad and honored to know you liked what you read, it's a step in the right direction to have someone appreciate your content. Here's to getting more acquainted.

People have wishes and they have goals. For the most part wishes will never happen without some dumb luck, quantifiable written goals are very achievable.

I concur on having clearly written quantifiable goals. My point home was to stop making excuses and to act on whatever it is one needs to get started on. You know, procastination is the thief of time xo

I call it excusitis, the single most prolific disease infecting the world today.

You’re only waiting for yourself.

Hahaha this speaks to me. I got to move and not wait anymore. I can determine whether it is going to happen or not.

Generally, though, these are the same people who play the victim card whenever they “can’t catch a break.”

This is what I feel when some people come and seek advices from me but they don't act. Instead, it is always, we cannot do that. Oh dear, that's like everything is bouncing off the wall and I felt drained after the conversation.

Thank you dear @elsiekjay!!! Such good reminder.

Glad you could relate with piece happy mama :))))
You're always welcome to drop by for more interesting and motivating content. Xo :)

Procastination will always lead to excuses, when pregnant give birth to failure. Procastination is a thief of time and it end result is failure.
Wonderful post @elsiekjay

Thank you for stopping by dear. Come back for more on the daily :)

Hey @elsiekjay, thanks for the shout out. Great post. I'm happy that I could help in any way. Looks like you're on your way to Steem success lady!

I couldn't have it any other way! My pleasure :)

Analysis paralysis is the major cause of smart people remaining poor...

Namaste, JaiChai
