thank you for your words, i just had an ‘ah ha’ moment today and realized i have been lying to myself lots lately. i’ve always been saying ‘oh i can’t do that because… or oh i don’t have the time’ etc. and i have been time wasting when i should have been going after my goals tenfold. now that i have realized this, it’s a huge help. i have to make it habit not to lie to myself, since i’m sure i’ve done it many times without even knowing. they say you have to do something atleast 21 times to make it a habit, it’s about time i start.

What I adore about blogs is that they spark an concept in my brain. When that happens, I really feel as I need to comment with the hope it might be interesting to some people. Because you will find plenty of blogs and forums with numerous points of view, they question your comprehension. It is at these moments when you’ve important insignt other individuals may not have experienced, together with the blogger him/herself. I find myself coming back again to to your writings only simply because you have a number of very good insights and also you’ve been at this a really long time, that is very inspiring and tells me you understand your stuff. Maintain triggering imagination in other people!

I have been lying to myself and procrastinating for so many years. I feel like I’m split inside and can’t be whole, can’t be honest in a relationship in a real intimate way. I feel badly about myself, I don’t respect myself because I’m so avoidant, but have been unwilling to change. Why am I so committed to keeping myself “safe” by running away and how can I change this? Its like I’m even afraid of calling myself out on it because I’m terrified of the change, but I want more than anything to be whole, have wonderful relationships and really love myself. What’s the deal?

it’s so hard to be honest with myself about what i should be doing because i will think of a way to get out of it, mostly i will put fear or a bad situation in my mind of what could happen, any ways to stop this?

funny that ive heard this in for the past year or so and i havent done athing to change it,oh yeah ive done excuses. the thing is we let our self befeated by the thought `that is hard”, and we dont do it, when it really only takes sacrifices and determination.and in the long run,and short it will make a btter stronger person. ive been saying to myself and to people that im going tochange some aspects of myself that affect me ina bad way,and by procrastinating so much ive hurt loved ones, myself and the relationship im in. we give less credit to ourself, we dont believe, when reality is we are capable of achieving lots of things. it hurts cause u feel like everythings is against u when ones being againts oneself, thatsthe reality. i need to change, im stuck.

Am committed to re-creating the ability to be focused, motivated and self-supportive again. It’s being particularly difficult this time around…

Have been here a few times because whever I reach such high points, I seem to always give that power/energy away to some relationship or cause that becomes the excuse for not applying that energised focus and healthy routines ( regular exercise, good diet, etc) to directly benefit my life (career development, improved finances.. )

At present it’s all gone out of the window, and at 44, I am a very, very low web. It’s been so frightening that procrastination is hitting all areas of life.. not prety..

I seek all the relevant help and guidance I can get, but I have no wish to turn this into yet another procrastination artifice.

Thank you.

Hi Dave.

First of all, i’d like to say that your material and the way you present it is awesome. You Rock
I’m 49 years old, i’m a straight commission sales guy who has experienced alot of success in my life.
About 3 years ago a friend approached me with a business proposition and i loved the opportunity and i said yes, i’m in. I was suppose to start next week, which turned into next month, which eventually turned into next year. Now its 3 years later and i feel like an idiot.
The opportunity has never left my mind and i never wanted to kill the dream, so i picked up the materials and read about it every couple of weeks. Well, about a month ago i bumped into this guy that presented the opportunity to me. It turns out that he quit his job after about 1 1/2 years because he was earning 3 times what he was paid at his job. His wife quit her job and this year (2009) he has been on 4 vacations so far.
I’m very happy for him and he deserves it but it really got me thinking. If we don’t force the issue sometimes in life and be uncomfortable and push ourselves, we miss out on so much.

I agree 100 percent. I have a lot going right now and haven’t liked my results. When I hit the point of frustration, I start looking to make excuses. If I am not careful, I start buying into the b.s. and doesn’t do anyone any good.

Oh my god, I have been having this realisation over and over for years. It’s recognising true setbacks (such as injury or illness) and the need to get them out of the way, which are rare and usually at worse, time adjustments and when the negative monster inside takes over and says I can’t be bothered, etc.

So, I have a degree, why aren’t I in professional employment? What series of decisions have I made that have led me to where I am now, even if that wasn’t my intention? What decisions am I going to make now?

I keep doing ten day challenges, mainly to improve my moods. I do have control over my emotions and it makes a hell of a difference to my day when I do whatever it takes, exercise etc in order to keep my mood up.

Great post, I might stick What’s your excuse this morning? Next to my alarm as I keep sleeping through the 5am one.
