Before anyone gets offended please note I spelled “but” with one “t” and not two…
Although I feel like I have come out of the worst of my anxious lifestyle and for the most part walk through the circumstances of my day with an inner peace and eager anticipation of what life has to offer I still have a lot of “growing” to do.
Most every post I make on this blog comes from something I have either personally dealt with in my journey through life or am currently dealing with and this one is no different.
When I finally get frustrated enough with an area of my life and I sit down and get real honest with myself I will inevitably see I have a list of “big buts”…
But… I don’t have time…
But… I’m too tired…
But… I don’t want to…
But… I’m not smart enough…
But… the economy sucks… I don’t have enough money… I’m afraid… I may fail… I may look like an idiot… no one will understand…
I have a million more “buts”… should I go on or do you get the point?
What are your “big but(s)”?
What is your excuse for not dealing with the fear and anxiety in your life…
Why haven’t you dealt with that troubled relationship?
When will you finally pursue the career of your dreams?
Are you going to finally take the vacation you always wanted to?
Whenever I really get serious about making a change in my life I am forced to realize the “buts”… the “reasons”, the “excuses”, the “rationalizations” are just that.
They are not the true reason I am stuck…
I simply wanted something else or someone else to blame.
At the end of the day there has never been a big enough “but” to stop me from doing or having what I really want in life.
My “reasons” were never the real reason, they were nothing more than excuses for not making a choice… for not taking a risk… for not making a change.
Yah, that can be scary as hell… yes that can be extremely uncomfortable and can seem quite awkward but all growth and development begins at the “beginning”…
Every “expert” began as a rookie…
Every mighty oak tree began as a seed…
Every skyscraper started by digging a hole in the ground…
A huge step today would be to admit to yourself that you have a big “but”… then stop blaming whatever “it” is and make a choice to move ahead and through to where you want to be in life.
If you keep giving power to your “excuses” I guarantee tomorrow will be no different then today.
But if you take back your power by making a choice today then your tomorrow can and will be much brighter.
