On Monday morning I woke up without any desire to go for my normal morning walk and this had been going on for about one week. This day I decided to pull every ounce of strength in my body to go for that walk. I have been using some excuses which were genuine for anyone who is looking for something to hold onto. There is no shortage of excuses for anyone who is looking for how to avoid doing what they know is necessary for them to accomplish anything they have in mind. What differentiates those who succeed from those who fail is the ability to say "no" to yourself. No matter what others do to motivate you, if you do not make the decision to refuse to look for excuses when you are tempted to do so, you can never achieve your best. Smart people do no belong to a particular race or live in a particular country or continent. They are simply those who have decided to say "no" by looking for easy, better and faster ways to tackle normal human challenges. They say that the same hot water that cooks eggs also cook potatoes. What some are seeing as obstacles is what others are sing to fuel their creativity. Innovation and creativity are not in anyone's genes, they are available to those who decide against all odds to find new way of doing old things. You have to be able to look at a challenge beyond its limitations in order for you to think of how to overcome them. Learn to say "no" to the excuses that come to your mind immediately you are faced with the roadblock of a challenge. Do not deny its existence but do not let its presence stop you from thinking about ways to conquer it. Success is the ability to say "no" to excuses and ''yes" to possibilities. Enjoy a great day!
