Why You Don't Need Excuses

You are accountable to you. What, who, where you are today are the results of the choices and actions you took.

Excuses are the very anti-thesis of dedication and hardwork. Are you sometimes guilty of making excuses especially when things go awry or your inability to make things happen the way you want? Excuses like too shy to date, not enough capital to start a business so on and so forth. The excuses get more outrageous everyday. Achieving a better life through hardwork and persistence are replaced by the excuse mill. Living excuse- free isn’t easy, but refusing to accept anything but the best from yourself can only lead to future success. And when you achieve success you will have no need for excuses.

Following the path of least resistance.

We look for challenges that requires less energy and present fewer obstacles. You can’t buy a well-developed body or buy a par golf score. Those are available only through intelligent, consistent work to anyone who is willing to apply his mind, body and spirit toward the life goal of personal mastery.

In today’s world, we celebrate the instant millionaire, the instant celebrity. We are constantly brainwashed a sugar coated vision of the good life filled with easy, painless overnight success.

Excuses are the products of our fears and frustrations. Of the stumbling blocks and walls we have hit and given up on. The next time you think you can’t do something, look around. Chances are you will find someone without your advantages succeeding at the very task you are struggling with. Like the paraplegic attempting to climb the highest mountain or someone entering a triathlon without the benefit of sight. Perhaps then you will come to realize that only by accepting the challenges that come your way can you realize your full potential. It is never about the summit we scaled. I believe our worth is measured by the challenges we face around the bend , by the endless path to personal mastery we never stop trying tread.

Zeroing In On Self Discipline

“He who conquers his self is mightier than he who conquers a city.” I forgot who said that line but the message stuck with me. It means have control over yourself first before you can have control over other things outside of yourself.. Private victories precede public victories. It all starts within you. Self- discipline and self control are major components if you want to master yourself. Self-mastery is a pre-requisite to transforming yourself into changed and better individual. The words self discipline and self control are enough to make you cringe. It means deprivation. It means loss of freedom. Sacrifice. Delayed gratification . But think of the rewards when you are able to discipline yourself. It’s enough to get you motivated. What separates the winners from the average people is that the winners reach a level of self-mastery accomplished through self discipline. Winners do not lose heart and become devastated by their misfortunes. They don’t become slaves to bad habits. They...

Selling Medical Equipments and Supplies

I live in a country where rice is the staple food. And what does it mean? It means that a major percentage of the population are diabetics. Rice when processed by our digestive system become glucose. So that means too much sugar in our bodies. Anyways, how do we see that as a money making opportunity as well as helping diabetics? It’s really pretty simple. This is how my cousin and I did it. My cousin works for a multinational company that deals with medical equipments and supplies. He got a huge discount if he purchases merchandise from where he worked. He supplied me with blood glucose monitoring systems (the portable ones) and test strips. ( the paper strip where in you put trickles of your blood to be inserted in the portable machine to know you blood sugar level.) I made money selling those monitoring systems for a profit or I charged for a fee if a person wants to know his or her blood sugar level or I sold the test strips only. I got like residual income from people with diabete...
