REASONS VS. EXCUSES

We can all justify anything!

Actually we are really good at it.

But, do some honest, deep sole-searching and find out if your EXCUSES are disguised as reasons.

While life is challenging, and time and money demands are tough...we have to keep ourselves real. Make a committment to being 100% honest with yourself and those around you when it comes to reasons vs. excuses.

We can come up with a million "GOOD REASONS" why certain things will not work for us. Why not come up with a million reasons why you ARE GOING TO MAKE IT WORK!

A man once told me. Never say "I cant afford" because its the language of the poor. Instead say, "I choose" to spend my money on healthy food then on that diamond necklace...its not that you cant afford that diamond necklace its just that feeding your family is a little higher on the priority list. Thank goodness.

He said that everyone can afford a cadillac. You may have to LIVE in it but everyone can afford one. Of course he was joking...but it makes you think. Its true, we just have to be real and be positive.

My point is...try to be real and think of 10 reasons right now why you will be successful. Focus on what you want to achieve and you will get it...maybe not instantly, but keep the focus and it will come.

Believe in Yourself

Whether you think you CAN or think you CANT, you are right so from this day on ACT AS IF you are GOING to succeed and YOU WILL!!

Celebrate every success big or small. If you drank one glass of water today and that is more than you have drank in a week, celebrate that success...its inch by inch getting you closer to your goal.

I went onto my Curves complete this morning and planned out my meals to get mostly green lights, a couple yellow...BUT MOSTLY GREEN!

I am soo proud of myself for planning out my meals in advance after going all weekend not really planning. So, good for me,,,Yeah!!! Was I perfect? NO, but I was a little bit better than I was yesterday. Thats worth celebrating.....Spring out the confetti!!!

What can you celebrate today?
