NO MORE EXCUSE! SUCCESS BEYOND RESTRICTION
The
slothful man says, there is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets-
Proverbs 22 vs. 13
Excuses
are the feet of failure.
Failure rides
on excuse. Before you start celebrating the reasons why you are not making it,
read this below
Helen
Keller was not born blind and deaf; it was not until she was 19 months old that
she contracted an illness described by doctors as "an acute congestion of
the stomach and the brain", which might have been scarlet fever or meningitis. The illness did not last for
a particularly long time, but it left her deaf
and blind.
What can a blind and deaf little girl do with her
life? It looks as if it was a closed case.
Keller
went on to become a world-famous speaker and author. She is remembered as an
advocate for people with disabilities amid numerous other causes. Keller wrote
a total of 12 published books and several articles. On September 14, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the United States'
highest two civilian honors.[22] In 1965 she was elected to the
National Women's Hall of Fame at the New York World's Fair. Your disabilities are not the reason you are not making it. It
is YOUR EXCUSE.
Stop saying life
is not fair. It is the language of failures. It is a sign of mediocrity. It is
the consolation of losers. You can have your own fair share of life if you will
make demand on it. Someone said “life
will not give you what you deserve but life will give you what you demand.”
Nobody is against you. You are responsible for the event of your life. Stop
celebrating reasons why things can’t be done and start thinking how it can be
done. Think twice before you give in to your celebrated excuses of not making
it. If your life is going great, it is your choice and if it is also going
otherwise, it is your decision. Helen Keller also had reasons why she can’t
make it like some of us but she refused to accept her handicap. I heard
somebody saying, “School dropout is not life drop out”. They won’t just let
success pass them by. I beg you today to challenge that excuse of your life
that is holding you in failure.
Let
look at the mind-sets of winners. If they can’t solve the problem, they manage
it, if they can’t manage it, they exploit their problems. Remember what one of
the greatest minds in life said” if you can’t fly run, if you can’t run walk
and if you can’t walk crawl by all means keep moving. That is, NO
EXCUSE
