Stop making excuses from "summary" of Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins
The concept of making excuses is one that holds so many of us back from achieving our full potential. When we make excuses, we are essentially giving ourselves permission to fail before we even begin. We are letting ourselves off the hook, allowing ourselves to take the easy way out instead of pushing through the discomfort and the pain that comes with growth.
Excuses are like a safety net that we use to shield ourselves from failure. We tell ourselves that we can't do something because of this reason or that reason, when in reality, we are just scared of what might happen if we actually tried. We are scared of failing, of looking foolish, of feeling uncomfortable. So we come up with excuse after excuse to justify our inaction.
But here's the thing: excuses will never lead to growth. Excuses will never lead to success. Excuses will only hold us back and keep us stuck in a cycle of mediocrity. If we truly want to achieve our full potential, if we truly want to become the best version of ourselves, then we need to stop making excuses and start taking action.
When we stop making excuses, we take back control of our lives. We stop letting fear and self-doubt dictate our actions, and we start pushing ourselves to do the things that we never thought possible. We start facing our fears head-on, embracing discomfort, and growing stronger with each challenge we overcome.
So the next time you catch yourself making excuses, remember this: excuses are nothing more than a crutch that we use to avoid taking responsibility for our lives. Excuses will never lead to success, but hard work, determination, and a refusal to quit will. So stop making excuses, and start taking action towards the life you truly want to live.
