Often the only thing holding us back from success is ourselves. Don’t talk yourself out of being successful.

Most people want to be successful in life. But success can mean many different things to different people and each one of us has his or her own definition of what success is. Depending on what your meaning of success may be, it’s sometimes hard to get there. Success in life and in business often requires an individual to put forth the effort that is needed and follow through. Unfortunately, we often talk ourselves out of reaching our dreams by thinking them unattainable.  

It is easy to Find reasons for not reaching our goals and they can keep us from trying. But the reality is that these are just excuses, fabricated reasons no to do anything. These are the excuses you create when you ask yourself why you are where you are instead of living your dream. 

One of the biggest excuses is a lack of time. All of us have the same amount of time in a day, yet some people can get a lot done in that time. Do those people have a secret? There is no secret, they just know time is limited and they must make the most with what they have. The reality is that we all have the time. 

Maybe you think you’re too old to do anything meaningful. Do you think your age is working against you when it comes to starting anew or achieving more? The truth is, your age can be a benefit. It is often said that with age comes wisdom. You can take advantage of your experience in life when going after new things. 

Some people are willing but feel that they just don’t know where to begin. That excuse no longer holds water, not with all the resources available to you. It’s like the old saying goes, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”.  

From now on, instead of talking yourself out of being successful, take that first step and see where it leads. Sometimes the journey is half the fun.
