About the Author
excuses , face the fear and take action anyway !
How do you start living in the no B . S . Zone ?
1 . Decide what it is that you want in your life , how you want to feel and write that vision out . There is incredible power when you put pen to paper !
2 . Every time you make excuses , go dig deeper . Ask yourself what is underneath that surface ? Who in your life has made you feel like you couldn ’ t achieve something ?
3 . The moment you have an idea , act on it . You may have very well laid out plans but when that new idea comes to you , you owe it to yourself to take action .
4 . Know you can always change your mind and make new decisions . Whatever thought and believe you have had in the past , doesn ’ t have to stay with you and neither do your plans . If you have a project or an idea that just doesn ’ t fit , give yourself permission to squash it , or save it for a later date .
5 . Realize that you could be gone in the next moment and while you probably feel your regrets , why not be , do and have everything you want ?
6 . Stop caring what other people think of you . It doesn ’ t matter because this is their bullshit and not yours . Just let it go !
7 . Get rid of the damn drama ! If there are people in your life sucking the energy out of you
because they love living in the chaos , make a choice to not be part of it . They will help you in your excuse seeking adventure and for anyone that is trying to make things happen , that ’ s a death trap !
Every time you live life according to someone else ’ s rule , nothing is changing ! Life isn ’ t linear and doesn ’ t come with a handbook . Life does come with the purpose of living and every time you make an excuse , you deny yourself that opportunity .
