“He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” -Benjamin Franklin
“When we argue for our limitations, we get to keep them.” -Evelyn Waugh
Fact: Someone way worse off than you, with far less resources than you, accomplished something far greater than what you’re trying to do.
The next time you hear about someone doing inspiring work, beware thinking these four words:
“Yeah. I know. But…”
Those four words are a trap. It’s the resistance talking.
Timing, age, condition, money, circumstance, etc…are meaningless. They’re excuses.
Know what you want. Have a strong why. Believe in yourself and the change you seek to make. Communicate your vision. Find the others. Take massive, consistent and iterative action.
You can do it.
Now, go get it done.
