Does it seem that somebody else is always responsible for your failures? Are you ever at fault? Well, guess what -- foolish excuses, pointing fingers and living in denial are temporary band-aids that will eventually come undone and cause you nothing but heartache. If you are one of the people living in denial, stop pretending to be above failure.
I 'm Way Too Busy; the Family Will Understand -- Your family needs you, and not just for your paycheck. Fast forward 20 years and think about this for a second -- do you really think that your children will ever say, "I'm glad mom/dad got that raise 10 years ago instead of watching me at football practice or helping me with my homework."
I Would be More Successful if My Job Weren't as Boring -- It's not your employer's fault, but there are some things you can do. If you like your employer but feel 'bored', then ask for new challenges.
My Team Is Holding Me Back -- Then why not do something about it? Why not help them become better at what they're doing so that all of you can reap the rewards later on?
My Boss Makes Bad Decisions -- Yes, but he/she has the right to make any decisions he sees fit since, in the end, it's his or her money or reputation on the line. If you want things to change, start being your own boss, nobody is stopping you.
I Don't Have Time to Stay in Shape -- But will you have time to spend in the hospital? If that is not the case then take at least a few minutes each day moving your body, strenuously. Investing time now prevents years of misery later in life!
Taking Risks Would Have Been Foolish -- Guess what: if you are serious about being successful, taking calculated risks every now and then is simply a must. Yes, there are foolish risks which should be avoided but, in the end, you simply have to take your share of calculated risks at a certain point.
