Excuses, Excuses

Don’t talk yourself out of something you know is good for you. 

Don’t talk yourself out of things you decided when you felt empowered and inspired.

Don't talk yourself out of desires that lights you up and makes you feel alive.

Don't talk yourself out of your truth.

Don't talk yourself out of anything that feels aligned with your true self. 

You will be tempted to. 

When it becomes difficult, or boring, or challenging, you might notice the urge to negotiate, to give up, or give in...
You might want to convince yourself out of your long-term vision, because of temporary struggles. 

If you find yourself coming up with excuses, convincing yourself out of commitments you made to yourself, remember that your excuses will only hurt you. No matter how convincing those excuses may sound in the moment, no matter how rational they may sound, if you consistently give in, those excuses will negatively impact your life and will affect your outcomes. 

In that moment, remember your long-term goals, remember that struggles are temporary, and time will pass anyway.
