Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses. ― George Washington Carver (professor and author)

We are so conditioned that we always blame something other than ourselves for our non-performance or failures. Do we blame our parents, our bosses, our friends, our co-workers, our spouse, our children, the weather, the economy, the government, our astrological chart, our bad luck, our lack of money, anyone or anything we can pin the blame on. We never want to look at where the real problem is, i.e. ourselves. Making excuses is a trait of non-achievers. A very devastating trait indeed. Non-achievers will always try to find excuses and blame others, circumstances, and events for their shortcomings.

If you really want to realize the dreams of your life and achieve those things that are most important to you, then you must take 100% responsibility for what you do. Nothing less than that will do. It would mean giving up all your Excuses, all your blaming of outside circumstances, all your victim stories, and all the reasons for not being able to achieve so far, all that you wanted to achieve. Stay away from these excuses. They are toxic and make success impossible` Push past all toxic excuses As Mark Twain (American Writer)has said- There are a thousand excuses for failure but never a good reason.? -

These Excuses are like deadening thought disease, a term used by David Schwartz, author of the Magic of Thinking Big. We fail and we start finding excuses. Every failure has the disease of "Excuses"

If you are thinking of yourself to achieve success, get vaccinated against the disease of failure i.e. excuses. Don't let the ghosts of excuses haunt you. Exorcise them. Nip the nettle of excuses.

Stop making excuses. It is the first principle of success. No more excuses. Either you do it or don't do it, but don't make excuses. It is only the losers who do it

Know your worth. One who does not know his worth is ruined. Never think about what you don't have. Focus on what you do have--and more importantly, what you are willing to do that other are not. That is your true gift. You just have to use it.
