Excuses Keeping You Stuck?
by Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz

You've probably heard the quote, "Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours." (Richard Bach) The same could be said of excuses. 

On our facebook page a couple of weeks ago, we posted the top 3 of our favorite excuses along with the corresponding affirmation from Dr. Wayne Dyer's 'Excuses Begone List of 18 Affirmations.'
  • It's going to be risky.  Affirmation: Being myself involves no risks. It is my ultimate truth, and I live it fearlessly.
  • It will take a long time.  Affirmation: I have infinite patience when it comes to fulfilling my destiny.
  • I'm too scared.  Affirmation: I can accomplish anything I put my mind to, because I know that I am never alone.
Fear, risk, time - not to mention age, money, other people's opinions - all are excuses for not living the kind of life we desire.   

For Richard and I, whenever one of us hears the other go into one of our excuses... we joke and say, "that's right...  keep repeating that over and over." It's a little reminder (and yes, sarcastic) that we're holding onto the excuse.  Every excuse we tell ourselves has a powerful positive affirmation that you can substitute. Here's one about  NO:
  • I hate rejection and getting NO.  Affirmation: My success journey will include many NOs along the way and I accept them so I can enjoy the entire trip!
These excuses aren't you, they don't own you, you own them. As Wayne Dyer says, "You have an unquestionable ability to eliminate excuses--they'll get up and go when they're revealed as the false beliefs that they are."

NOtable Quotables from the Go for No! Movie

"20 years ago when I started in this field, or 25 years ago, we thought we could change stuff. But we didn't know for sure what was happening in the brain. Now we actually see, you change your belief, you start changing how you think, it's like changing this muscle. So you can actually learn with repetition, lots and lots of repetition to change those thought patterns or the neural network that holds certain thought patterns and those belief systems." - Dr. TC North, Blast Through Fear

This Month's Trivia Answer

Answer: Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin was a very famous silent movie star with a distinctive look known as "the tramp." It was the tramp that was the point of the look-alike competitions rather than Chaplin himself, who actually looked somewhat different out of make up. Chaplin said that he took part in the contest to show the contestants how to do the tramp's walk properly. The judges weren't convinced and didn't put him through to the final.
