Excuse #1: I’m not ___ enough

Whether it's feeling not intelligent enough, not good enough, or not young enough, these are not truths but rather self-imposed limitations. When these thoughts surface, catch yourself and replace them with uplifting and affirming statements about your capabilities.

"All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don’t let anybody crush your dream." ~ Patti LaBelle

Excuse #2: I don’t have the money

Pinpoint the exact amount needed and devise creative ways to obtain it. Often, we haven't even taken the time to calculate the required funds. Never abandon your dream without thoughtful consideration; where there's a will, there's always a way.

"Don’t ever let the lack of money stop you from realizing your dreams." ~ Wayne Dyer

Excuse #3: I don’t have time

You wield the power to prioritize what matters to you. Assess your engagements, identify time-wasting activities, and explore more efficient approaches. Carve out the time for your dreams by making intentional choices.

"I intend to take time for myself to live the life that I came here to live, and to do it without ignoring my responsibilities as a parent, spouse, or employee." ~ Wayne Dyer

Excuse #4: I’ve already started down one path, I can’t change direction

Grant yourself the freedom to change direction, regardless of prior investments in time, energy, or money. Life is full of twists and turns; embrace the opportunity for a new path.

Excuse #5: I’m too scared

Fear often accompanies the most exciting pursuits. Instead of resisting it, follow your fear. Confront it head-on, push your boundaries, and find strength in overcoming challenges.

Excuse #6: I’m not ready yet

Perfection is not a prerequisite for pursuing your dreams. Everyone starts with uncertain steps. Don't wait for the perfect moment; take action now and refine your path along the way.
