Do you feel like no matter how hard you are working to make your life great, no matter how much you have accomplished or how good you feel about yourself, there is still one area of your life where you feel powerless to create the success you deserve? If you examine this area, you will indeed find one or more excuses that have more power than your commitment to your goal. If you observe your previous successes, whether in your personal life or your career, you will notice that you didn't allow your excuses to stop you. You certainly had them, but you wanted to succeed so badly that you chose not to bite into them. You consciously or unconsciously chose to focus on your dream, you had a clear vision and you persevered to stay focused on your goal. You took the right actions and you never doubted yourself. You were living free from your excuses and justifications. Or at least, you choose not to pay them any attention. And the success made you feel proud and satisfied with yourself. You understand then… that living with a vision for your inspiring life is your best antidote to the chronic use of excuses and self-sabotage. Excuses are known as the back door that you leave open in case the chase of your dreams is challenging, and you want to escape. They are your attempt to sabotage yourself from fulfilling your goals and behaving in a responsible, powerful, creative way to honor your commitment to yourself. This podcast is the third episode of a series of podcasts about self-sabotage. I’m hosting an Online 2-Day Workshop on Overcoming Self Sabotage and I will remind you of the details, at the end of this podcast. So, keep listening.
