We all make excuses.
But the successful ones are those who can kill the excuses like the miserable maggots they are.
I'm too tired. I don't have the time. I don't feel motivated. I'd rather do nothing. I don't have the money, equipment, space. I can't because …
We've all made the excuses. Here's how to kill them.
1. See the positive.Excuses are usually made because we don't feel like doing something - we're accentuating the negative. Instead, see the fun in something, the joy in it. And maintain a positive attitude, or you'll never beat the excuses.
2. Take responsibility.Excuses are ways to get out of owning up to something. If we don't have the time, money, equipment, etc., then it's not our fault, right? Wrong. Take responsibility, and own the solution.
3. Find a solution.Just about every problem has a solution. Don't have time? Start with just 5-10 minutes. Make the time. Wake earlier. Do it during lunch. Don't have a gym membership? Workout at home or in the office. Don't have the energy? Do it when you have higher levels of energy. You're smart. Figure out the solution.
4. See your goal.This is your motivation - your reason for doing it. Sure, you could just lay on the couch, but if you think about why you really want to pursue a goal, you'll be motivated. Visualize that goal and just get started.
5. Be accountable.Have a workout partner, a project partner, a team, someone to report to. If you have to meet a coach or partner, you're more likely to do something.
6. Go ahead and make your excuses.Then do it anyway.
7. Watch this. Then go an do it.
我們所有人都會找借口!
但是那些成功人士卻都是些能將借口像害蟲一樣滅掉的人。我太累了。我沒有時間。我覺得沒有動力。我什么都不想做。我沒有錢、沒有設備、沒有空間。我不能,是因為……
我們總能找到太多的借口,這里我告訴幾個打消它們的秘訣:
1.尋找積極樂觀之處。借口通常是由于我們不想去做而產生的--我們總在強調消極的一面。相反,尋找樂趣,享受其中。保持一個積極的心態,那么你再也不會被借口打敗。
2.負起責任心。借口是逃避承認很多事情的方式。如果我沒有時間,沒有金錢,沒有裝備等等,那么這也不是我的錯,對吧?錯!負起責任,去尋找解決辦法。
3.想辦法解決。每件事情都有解決的辦法。沒有時間嗎?擠出5-10分鐘,有效利用時間。早起一會兒;在午餐的時候去做它。沒有辦健身會員?那么就在家里或者辦公室鍛煉。渾身沒勁?那就在你精力充沛時再做。你是很聰明的,一定能想出辦法。
4.查看自己的目標。這個就是你的動機--你做某事的理由。當然,你可以什么不做只是躺在沙發上,但是如果你想到了你為了什么真的想去追求你的目標,你就會有了動力。讓目標具體化,馬上開始行動吧。
5.負責。找個健身的同伴,一個項目合伙人,一個團隊,總之一個能向他報到的人。因為如果你不得不去見教練或者同伴的話,你就會更有可能去做這些事情。
6.找理由努力向前。無論如何都要去做。
7.看到這個,那就行動吧
