Every man and every woman makes excuses. Why we shouldn’t do it, why we shouldn’t get out of bed and why we should click the snooze button and keep on dreaming. I will tell you why. It’s easier that way. It’s easy to stay in bed and let the problems pile every minute and tell ourselves why we shouldn’t do it. But living the good life is far away from staying in bed, letting problems pile and keep on dreaming.
The hardest thing is to take action and keep on solving problems. Lena Horne said: “It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” We all have a load that breaks us down, but the way we carry it, is going to define whether that load will break us down or not. We need to stay motivated, inspire ourselves and find a way to carry that load for the rest of our lives.
Now I will present you the 17 quotes to kick start your day and stop making excuses.
