What’s Your Excuse?

“I’m too tired”

“I’m too busy”

“I have a headache”

“I don’t have time for that”

“What if I don’t make it”

“I’m afraid to fail”

“I’m not allowed too”

“I’m too small”

“I’m too weak”

“I’m too fat”

“I don’t have enough money”

“My shoulder hurts when I lift”

“My knees hurt when I squat”

“Deadlifting hurts my back”

“I’m going hurt myself”

No Excuses

I’m sick of hearing people make excuses as to why they don’t get off their ass and go to the gym, or don’t work hard at their sport. If you are a competitive athlete there is no excuse not to work as hard as you can. If you are making excuses and not training your hardest, not only are you doing yourself a disservice but more importantly letting down your teammates. What ever happen to working hard? It is a lost art in today’s society.

People who make excuses in life are the same ones that will make excuses when it comes to missing a workout or practice. It is an attitude that is adopted from a lifetime of being scared, lazy and unmotivated. I call it the “I DON”T GIVE A SHIT ATTITUDE”. People who have this attitude are highly unmotivated, aren’t determined to do anything with their life and worry more about there social life than anything else.

What are you willing to do to become the best you can be? What are you doing to become a champion? It requires desire, determination, motivation, passion and sacrifice. I believe that this needs to come from within. Nobody should have to motivate you to take action or to reach your goals. If that’s the case you are setting yourself up for failure. Prioritize the things that matter to you in life and act accordingly. Don’t make excuses, make adjustments and keep moving forward. When things get rough its time for you to step it up-not make excuses and take a back seat. How you deal with adversity is a true measure of who you are as a person. Maybe I’m a little bias because I pride myself in being a go getter and someone who takes action.
