Excuses...No More!
I am a natural born procrastinator and with that being said that makes me an excuse maker. (dont mind being call a procrastinator but hate being called an excuse maker)...But I am about it baby....trying to shake the haters off me(procrastinating and excuse making) thus I am 20 days and counting not drinking the demonic Sodas....I am making a step where ever I can.....Why because I am not spending the rest of my life in this BODY.....I set out to change it...not a little, not half way but all the way. 4 yrs and counting...IT WILL HAPPEN
...I was scrolling through my school stuff and this jumped out at me and hit me in the face...I thank God for it and I am biting off of it because it is good food for thought and action.
Make No Excuses By Susan M. Heathfield, About.com Excuses for failure, excuses about your choices in life, excuses about what you feel you have accomplished fuel dysfunctional thinking – and consequently, undesirable actions and behaviors. Making excuses instead of taking one hundred percent responsibility for your actions, your thoughts, and your goals is the hallmark of people who fail to succeed. Part of the power of taking responsibility for your actions is that you silence the negative, unhelpful voice in your head. When you spend your thinking time on success and goal accomplishment, instead of on making excuses, you free up the emotional space formerly inhabited by negativity. The next time you catch yourself making an excuse, whether for the late project, the unmet goal, or the job you work, gently remind yourself - no excuses. Spend your thought time planning your next successful venture. Positive thinking becomes a helpful habit. Excuses fuel failure. http://humanresources.about.com/od/success/qt/no_excuses_s2.htm

Pastor Di,
You can do anything you put your mind to, procrastination be damned. :-)

Dalexis,
I am trying right now. To beat this damned demon... for it is the reason I am in financial turmoil. I realize this is what has crippled me. I am somewhat intelligent, somewhat good looking, and I have many gifts and talents....I believe that my talent can take me places...but I tend to continue to put it to the back burner....Now I am almost 50 and broke as hell, mad because I have some major set backs.....It is my own damned fault.
I have books that need to be written, published and sold...in me...waiting to come out.
I have revivals waiting to be preached....waiting to come out.
I have weight needed to be lost...on me...
I have adventures to be enjoyed ...love to be given and received and I have put everything to the back burner because of the procrastination..fueled by excuses which or fed by fear..
It is high time to get up and take charge of my life and move forward...whether I screw up some more fall, fumble or stumble anything has got to be better than this and there is absolutely too much in me to be dictated to by procrastination and excuse making.
