How are you doing right now? Are you on track to creating your best life? Are you progressing? Or are there reasons coming up in your mind stopping you from taking action?
If there is I get it. Reasons, excuses, and justification are objects of the mind. The ego will make all this noise in your mind to try and convince you to stay where you are because it’s very existence is threatened by your path of overcoming fear and stepping outside your comfort zone.
I know this because I played the victim myself at one point. I had all the excuses come up and I had to deal with them one by one. Sometimes I thought I had dealt with it, but deeper inside, there was still a bit of that fear, doubt, uncertainty or insecurity that was laying there.
Even to this day, fear still comes up but I now know that it is a form of the human mind and I experience it for what it is and overcome the fear instead of running from it.
When reasons, excuses, justifications come up for you on why you haven’t moved forward to creating your ideal life, ask your self…
“…is this the reason why I can’t, or is this the reason why I should?”
We all want to improve our lives. When we’re feeling stuck in the rat race of mediocrity there’s a part of us inside that knows that there has to be a better way. It is possible now more than ever before with the digital economy to redefine your reality by living with more time, freedom, peace, fulfillment, experiences, potential, and of course, as a by-product of the value you provide comes more money.
But when we think of actually doing something about it our own mind will want to come up with all sorts of reasoning why we can’t even get started.
We are our own worst enemy. It isn’t the world around us, it isn’t the people around us, it isn’t the situations around us, it’s ourselves who holds us back. Sometimes yes the world outside of us creates greater obstacles, but overcoming them will make you that much more powerful.
And sometimes that simply requires you to accept it as it is and let it go.
So again when reasons or excuses come up as to why you can’t do it ask yourself “is this the reason why I can’t, or is this the reason why I should?”
For the example:
“I don’t have time to do this, my life is so busy as it is I can’t possibly be able to make time for this”
So is the reason for having no time is the reason why you can’t do it? Or is it the reason why you should do it? Because having more time is obviously important here, so are you using that as your excuse to not move forward to creating a life of time freedom, or the reason why you should move forward to learn how to make that a reality?
Here’s another one…
“I don’t have the money to live the life I want to live or even invest in myself to get there”
Again is having no money the reason why you can’t do it? Or is that the reason why you should find ways to generate more income? There are plenty of ways to do that these days, in the traditional way and even more online. The best way to get started in my opinion is this way…
“I don’t have the technical skills to start an online business”
Is not having the technical skills why you can’t do it? Or is it the reason why you should learn the technical skills because it will allow you to create a life of freedom you deserve and be able to adapt to the digital economy. As you know the digital world is moving really fast and it has become the new way of living. Most opportunities, careers, changes are happening in the digital world vs the traditional industrial world.
“What are people going to say or think?”
First of all who cares and are they really saying it or thinking about it or is it just in our imagination?
Do what feels best for you and any ACTUAL judgment from others is only a reflection of themselves out onto you. They are filtering what they heard or saw through their own stuff, insecurities, fear, doubts, and projecting that out to you. So at this point it’s not about you, it’s about them… Let it go!
And is the fear of judgment the reason why you can’t go for a life a freedom, a life of happiness, a life of authenticity, a life full of amazing experiences because you get to live your life on your own terms?
Are you really going to let other people’s opinions stop you from being happy and enjoying YOUR life?
OR maybe this is a reason why you should be moving forward to creating your best life because you are the one who’s responsible for creating your reality. Don’t let others dictate what you can or cannot do.
Your life is in your hands. You create your reality. You experience your reality. And your reality is your life.
Is today the reason why you can’t take the first step to create your dream lifestyle or is today the reason why you should move forward because one more day gone by is one less day closer to manifesting the reality you deserve to experience.
Let’s make it happen together!
Stay focused, stay humble, stay authentic!
