Summary

When it comes to getting stuff done, you have two options: excuses or changes! It is that simple. Excuses are just your fears, desperately hoping to convince you not to do anything new. Keeping you in your comfort zone, in a place that feels familiar. But you are never too busy, too old, too fat, too stupid, or too anything to make a change.

What you are is making excuses because you are frightened! Which is why you need a deadline.

that makes you feel uncomfortable? Saying I will do it tomorrow is the

1:14.6

easiest way to make sure it will never happen. I know. It's a lot easier to say, I'll do it

1:22.4

tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes unless you set a deadline and you stick to it.

1:30.1

No one knows that better than I do after almost a decade of putting things off and pushing away my dreams.

The real reason was because I was scared.

1:57.3

Frightened to go after my dreams.

2:00.1

It felt safer to convince myself that I would get around to it one day, rather than letting today be the one day of getting it done.

2:12.9

Pablo Picasso said the following. I love this quote. Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing

2:20.3
