Let me just talk true, one thing that destroy many people lives is not the lack of opportunity but excuses. Yes, when you are fond of giving excuses, laziness, fear or doubt comes in. I have seen am with my own eyes this is what that fall people down.
Some years back, I remember when I want to learn how to do graphic design. I get laptop, small data, and time but still, everyday I tell myself “I go start tomorrow.” Tomorrow won't come, Atimes l say “ no light ,” or “my brain can't concentrate today.” Before I know, 6 months have pass. My friend and l that started same time already started collecting job online. That thing pain me because I realize that my excuses hold me down, not lack of chance.
Excuses sweet for mouth but bitter for future. It will makes feel comfortable now, but regret later in the future. You will watch others move ahead while you won't find reason why you never start. Life won't pity person that keep defending failure with excuse.
Sometimes we blame people, environment or money, but truth is that, if you really want to do something, you will find small way. I spoke with one guy in my area. This boy has a laptop, but does not have a cyber cafe, every night l go to his place to learn coding with his phone. Today, he works remote job for a big company. When I asked him how he did it, he just laughed and say, “Bros, Don't give room for excuses, its a life destroyer. That word stuck to my head since that day.
Excuses sound like protection, but its a silent killer. It kill dream, confidence, and progress. Every time you say “I can’t,” or “not now,” you dey give fear more power over your life.
So these days, when I feel lazy or find reason to postpone something, I always remember where excuse had affected my life. I just start small, even am not sure if its not going to end well.
