Reasons or Results

By Mike Monahan, CEO and executive director of Life Success Seminars Inc.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to come up with hundreds of reasons or excuses when you don't achieve a desired result? "I don't have time or enough money," or "The economy is bad and the winter months are slow." We often spend more time finding good reasons to fail than taking actions that guarantee success.

What is one current result in your life that you want to change? Next, write on individual pieces of paper all of the excuses you have for not being able to change the result. Put the papers in a bowl and each day take one out, read it and throw it away. When all the excuses are gone, go ahead and make the change you desire.

A friend once told me: "The only reason you can't have what you want is the reason. Get rid of the reason and you can have what you want." It's so simple!
