Dream Killing Excuses

• There’s Always Tomorrow. There’s only going to be so many tomorrows in your life time. Can you really afford to waste another day on this excuse? You know that starting tomorrow is going to have a smaller advantage than starting today, and if you’re happy to tell yourself that ‘there’s always tomorrow’ now, then it’s likely you’ll have no problem doing so again in the future.


• I’m Too Old. A lot of people think they are too old to achieve their dreams, and that it’s too late for them to begin working towards them. The truth is that no matter how old you are, it’s never too late to do something you love, or work towards your dreams. Age is just a number and not a limit on what you can potentially achieve.


•  I Have No Idea Where to Start. We’ve all been there at some point or another. We’re not quite sure where to actually start and get the ball rolling. It can be difficult to know what to do when beginning on something new, but you shouldn’t let that put you off. The general thoughts are that you start small, and work your way up, so the less you actually know, then perhaps the smaller you should start to begin with.


• The Timing Is Not Right. There is never going to be a perfect time to do what you want to do. You just have to make it the perfect time, by actually starting something and putting 100% of your effort into it. People who wait for the perfect time never start working towards their dreams. Life just sort of passes them by, and 20 years down the line they will be saying exactly the same thing they did before. Create the perfect time, don’t wait for it!
