Don't Excuse Opportunity When It Knocks On Your Door

We are all guilty of making excuses in our lives. Whether it’s an excuse not to work out or an excuse not to go somewhere, excuses are extremely prevalent and easy to make. Opportunity, however, seldom comes, so we should take every opportunity that we can in order to grow in our lives and to see and do things that we might not otherwise do.

Excuses are easy to make when you don’t have the motivation or the desire to continue on with something. The thing that you need to remember is that you started working on it for a reason, so tap into your “”why” and keep going! Never give up on the things that you want to achieve because of a simple excuse.

Opportunity will knock on your door someday, but what matters is your response to it. Do something different for a change! Go to that restaurant you’ve never been to, order something different than your “usual,” talk to people that you never would have otherwise, or take a different route home from work. Opportunities are all around us; we just need to take them.

Make progress, not excuses. Don’t allow yourself to give in to excuses. Combat them instead! Remember why you started doing the things that you’re doing, and keep going until you’re satisfied. Excuses won’t allow you to progress any further than you’ve already come, and if you’re not content with where you are, then you have more work to do!

Stop making excuses for the things that you should or want to be doing, and instead, get back to working towards your goals. The opportunity won’t be there forever, so you need to take the time when you can to do the things that you need to do, regardless of whatever excuses you want to tell yourself. Keep going! You’ve got this!
