What’s Your Excuse?
Can you guess what one of
the major stumbling blocks
of success that I hear often in
coaching sessions? In other
words, what excuse do you think
I hear the most. Read on to see
if your guess was correct.
Recently I went to hear the
motivational speaker, author,
and
business
consultant,
Mathew Kelly. His talk was titled
Living Every Day with Passion
and Purpose
. Mathew Kelly has
dedicated his life to helping
people
and
organizations
become
the-best-version-of-
themselves! Right up my alley!
At one point he pointed out
something we all need for
watch out for when we realize
that we need to develop some
new habits or discard some old
ones to be the best version of
ourselves - EXCUSES!
We all have the desire to be
happy, to live a life of meaning,
but don’t we just come up with
the best excuses for not doing
what it takes?!
There are practically as many
excuses as there are people on
the planet! However, today I
am going to zero in on just one,
because I hear it a lot!
Some people spend half their
lives using the excuse that they
are too young and the other half
- they are too old!
If that sounds like something
you say, here are some fun facts
to consider:
If you think you’re too young:
•
Anne Frank wrote
The Diary of
Anne Frank
when she was 13
•
Mozart wrote his first music
composition at age 5
•
Bill Gates started Microsoft
when he was 19 and
•
Joanof Arc led the Frencharmy
to victory at the age of 16
