Chain of Excuses

Hey There! This is Harsh Patel, the host of the podcast, Within 5 Minutes with the 6th episode, Chain of Excuses. When was the last time you made an excuse? Who is the first person that comes to mind when you think of the word, excuse? To what extent do you continue covering up an excuse with other excuses? While some excuses might appear harmless, the truth is that every excuse you make takes you further away from reaching your full potential. What’s more, you’ll end up missing opportunities that you might never get back. You may fail to build up talents and skills that could contribute to your growth and progress. There is this little trick I try to use to cut down my excuses: instead of saying “I’d really like to, but…”, cut yourself off and say “I’d really like to.” This triggers your mind to focus on the plans you need to make to reach your goals. So the next time you find yourself in a situation where you have to take an action, be it small or life-changing, try to own it up. Because excuses will make you regret “the road not taken”. Don’t let your “later” become “never”, or your “maybe” to become a “no”.
