Becoming 100% YOU - Part 4

3. Only an excuse away



How many times has an excuse stopped you from following your instinct? Are you the sort of person who says ‘I can’t do that because…’ I can’t is the language of excuses. And you will always be able to find plenty of reasons to stop you from journeying along. I am a culprit of this, I always used to say I can’t… I need to constantly remind myself to say that I actually can.



If you are constantly giving what you think are valid reasons for your lack of progress on your journey then be careful, because eventually your life will grind to a halt. You will end up spending years of your life in a dead end called excuses and the only person responsible for putting you there is you!



Your excuses will never change God’s mind about who you are. He sees past your excuses to the real you. All they will do is make your journey far longer than necessary and you will waste time taking pointless detours and delay finding out what God has for your life.
