| Whats Your Excuse for Not Being Successful in Life? |
Excuses! Excuses! When we fail to do something we are expected
to do, we almost always have an excuse for it. However, if we
analyze it closely, an excuse is a self-destructive alibi for
having failed to do something, especially when it involves
attaining a goal. Instead of trying to persevere in finding ways
to continue achieving a goal, some of us resort to excuses.
Even a handicap cannot be used as an excuse. Many handicapped
but determined people have become achievers and champions.
Instead of using a handicap as an excuse, let us turn it into an
asset. Let us explore this further.
A handicap need not be a reason for failure. On the contrary, a
handicap can be a reason for success. People with a handicap
always have an offsetting strength that allows them to overcome
problems better than others.
A person with a handicap has one obsession - to lead a normal
life. Depending on the handicap, a person would prefer to be |
as
independent as possible. So he struggles and finds ways to
overcome his impediment. When he is able to achieve his goal,
this raises his self-esteem. In turn, he inspires others.
Everybody has handicaps in varying forms and degree. That is
why; it requires effort and determination to overcome them.
Handicaps can either be physical, financial, or emotional. And
they can either be real or imagined.
Whenever we look at a handicap, we almost always look on the
negative side only. It's about time we take a look at the
positive side of it. The positive side may be the difficult
side, but it's the one worth looking into. It's the side that is
going to lead us to excel in life.
If you think your handicap is physical, like having a weak body,
you can counteract this through proper diet and training
exercises. As long as the physical parts of your body are intact
and mobile, there's no reason why you cannot make it strong |

and
useful. Why? Even those without a leg (for example) can be made
to walk or run normally. With the advancement of science,
artificial legs can help a handicap function with great mobility.
It your handicap is financial, then the more reason you have to
rise above your present status. And if your financial status
limits your educational attainment to improve your life, the
school is not the only place to learn. Certainly, there are help
centers to get you started even from zero level. Once you are
initially warmed up with the basics of an education, the rest is
up to you. Make use of libraries. Once you are educationally
equipped, use your brain and come up with creative ideas to
improve your life.
If you are emotionally disturbed with negative thoughts, it is
like you are sitting on a chair with wobbling legs. Try sitting
on a chair with sturdy legs; meaning, look at the bright,
positive side of life. Put aside negativity and start |
thinking
positively. The only one who can stop you is yourself.
If your handicap is a combination of any of the physical,
financial, or emotional type, congratulations. You should strive
more to overcome them, because a double layer of perseverance
results to more than double the achievement. Where the odds are
greater, the prize gets much bigger. After all the efforts you
have exerted, the prize of success shall be a well-deserved one.
So what's your excuse for not being successful?
