No Excuses! …Jim Thorpe

Look closely at the photograph, you can see that he's wearing different socks & shoes. This wasn't a fashion statement. It was the 1912 Olympics, and Jim, an American Indian from Oklahoma represented the U.S.A in track and field.

On the morning of his competitions, his shoes were stolen. Luckily, Jim ended up finding two shoes in a garbage can. That's the pair that he's wearing in the photo. But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear an extra sock. Wearing these shoes, Jim won two gold medals that day.

This is a perfect reminder that you don't have to resign to the Excuses that have held you back. So what if life hasn't been fair? What are you going to do about it today? 

Whatever you woke up with this morning; stolen shoes, ill health or, upset over something, problem in your family or the environment you are in? You are in a failed relationship or You failed in business? You have to work with a bad boss? Upsetting spouse? Disloyal friends? cruel world? bad surrounding?... these are all seeds of Excuses building in your head. Don't let these Excuses stop you from running your race.

You can experience more in life if, you'll get over the Excuses and get on with living life the way 'you' want it to be. You can have reasons or, you can have results...but you can't have both.

So, what is stopping you?

You are too tired? You want to sleep? No enough energy? No Time? What is Stopping you? or, Isn't the Game-Stopper YOU?

Excuses seem best only to the person making them - Sylvester Stallone

Stop feeling sorry for yourself, don't drown in self pity! & don't expect everyone to be part of your petty sob-stories. No one is interested!

When you come across people who are successful, living their lives in luxury of things that YOU can only dream of, Don't be jealous and stop criticizing them with envy. Because they were willing to say - I am not tired or, they didn't make sleep their priority. Now - wake up! Awaken the animal in you, fill yourself with grit & determination. Time to Go-Go-Go!

See what you have! not what you don't. Do something about it! Being tired isn't the answer! Wanting more sleep is not the answer. If you want it, go after it - Get It! Your Excuses are not valid! They are made-up, fabricated lies. Stop telling those lies (excuses) and, replace them with the truth.

When you start telling the truth, you will gain support, your skills & knowledge will work in your favor. Develop the discipline to go for it! Challenge yourself, and then all you want will come to you. Its not going to be easy, neither is it, as difficult as you think. Remember to delete "Tomorrow" from your internal memory. Make things happen Today...…Now! Grind yourself towards your Goals - You will Never Fail!
