Since I’ve been involved in personal coaching and training, I’ve felt at times that I’d heard every excuse in the book.  I’m astounded though that even today I keep hearing new ones.  The staples are still pouring in though… “I don’t have the time”, “I’m just not good at that” and of course… “I’m sorry, it’s just not for me”.

Does that sound like you?

I’m ashamed to say that not long ago, I’ve uttered those very excuses to my coaches and mentors.  The change for me came when one of those mentors pointed out a pattern that I’d gotten into.  I always knew I’d be wealthy and I always said “someday it’ll happen for me”.  I remember he said to me… “You are right… Someday it will, but why not today?”

Interesting… Why not today?  This got me thinking.  The law of attraction says that like attracts like… that you attract to you whatever you focus your thoughts on.  I was always pushing my destiny away from me.  I was keeping it at arms reach.  I was happy and comfortable to keep my impending success just out of reach…. “someday”.  I was justifying my lack of action with the knowledge that someday I’ll be there and I’ll just wait for that someday to come.

Guess what?  It wasn’t happening for me until I took the action to bring it to me.

So I ask again.  What about you?  Are you holding back?  Why not do it today?

So many of us hide behind our excuses and justifications for why today is not the right day to go after what we want.   We want to wait until we have more experience.  We want to wait until we clear off our current debt.  We want to wait until the kids are out of school, until we are more stable.  Do you think it will ever end?  Do you think there will ever be a time when you can’t think of one excuse for why you can’t do it today?

Of course not!  Life happens.  It happens to us all.  There are always going to be reasons NOT to go for it… but guess what?  There are also going to be just as many reasons to the contrary. 

So who’s in control of YOUR life?

If you really want to be wealth “someday”, why not start by taking the steps today to ensure that it happens.  Start learning TODAY.  Start building your strategic relationships TODAY.  Find a coach/mentor TODAY.  If you think you are going to be wealthy, then prove it.  Take the steps!  Get out of your comfort zone.  As soon as you do, your life will begin to take you where you always thought you’d be.
