Most people create excuses for entire lifetimes
Joshua J. CottenDid you work on your primary goal today? Most people will answer “No” to this question. But I can guarantee they made time to hop on social media, scroll the internet, or stream something on a screen.
“I’m too tired to work on my goals.”
“It’s too late in the game for me to work on my goals now.”
“What’s the point of working on my goals? I never notice any progress.”
Being tired, being too old, and never noticing progress are three common excuses people make for why they can’t achieve something. Each one of these excuses = BS, though.
