He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else. -Franklin
I was reading some different fitness blogs and I found this article about no excuses! Good to read!
Where there is a will there is a way. When you truly desire something there is nothing that you are incapable of doing. Whether it is fighting an illness, losing weight, or improving overall health, we are capable of doing these things and so much more. Yet we often feel like victims of our circumstances and stay stuck in our ruts. It is easy to give “reasons” for being overweight, unhappy, unhealthy, and trapped.
In my experience it has been the people who have quit making excuses, and changed their habits that are successful in achieving what they are determined to accomplish. The ones who do not take responsibility and make a conscious effort to improve their situation do not experience the same positive change in their lives or their bodies. For these individuals fitness and nutrition continues to be a frustrating experience.
You have to really want it, or you won’t do it. Decide what is it that you want and then feel a burning desire to have it. Focus your attention and excitement on this thing. When a healthy body and a happy life become your main focus your actions will change to reflect this new focus. When your actions change, your body and your life will begin to change. But, this will not occur until you stop making excuses and solve any problems that are holding you back for living a healthy life. Time is usually scarce so think of creative ways to fit in small amounts of exercise into your daily activities.
For every problem, there is a solution when you take the time to find one. If you find yourself blaming something or someone else for not living healthy, stop yourself and think of what you could do differently. Make health a priority and the excuses will go away.
