Instead of thinking of why you won’t be able to accomplish your goals, devise strategies to work your way around the obstacles to get to your destination. There are plenty of people who were in worse predicaments and situations than yours and they still found ways to succeed. The majority of the time what’s truly going to prevent you from achieving your goals is a lack of optimism and the perception that you can’t overcome the obstacles that are in your way. Some people see the goal that they’re chasing, and some people fixate on the obstacles in their way and why they ‘can’t’ achieve their goal. Excuses are lies, and they’re the centrepiece of failure. ![]() |
