I usually want to ask: “How many things in your life did you perform successfully for the first time?”. It’s a revelation in that we rarely “reach the goal” without a number of attempts ... Here is my favourite comment “Only weak people need to change, I am strong enough and
willing to accept my fate”. It’s difficult to dignify this comment with a response, because the person strongly believes in fate. No doubt, fate is more powerful than just a human being. It is impossible to change something if everything is predetermined ...
Isn’t it funny to see the games that we play with ourselves? What’s not funny, is that all these people actually believe that their excuses are reasonable.
In reality, it’s these attitudes that prevent us from achieving greater things in life. Excuses work as a defensive mechanism which helps to diminish anxiety and “keep face”. However, they are more dangerous than you can imagine. Although excuses are an illusion of reality, our mind perceives them as real.
One of my areas of expertise is hypnotherapy. Suggestions are a very important tool in hypnotherapy and serve as a very effective instruction that causes a person, a client, a patient to act in a certain way, feel a certain feeling or do a specific behaviour. Auto-suggestion, is not when the other person tells you what to do but when you say something to yourself. This is what’s more powerful! Saying the words “I can do it” is more powerful than the phrase “You can do it” said by someone else. You should also be aware that innocent phrases such as: I don’t have time, I don’t have money, I can’t, I don’t know what to do and so on — send the wrong electrochemical signal to your brain and block your future. How will you ever have the time, money,
possibility or knowledge if you have convinced yourself of the opposite?
People don’t realize how much harm they bring upon themselves with their excuses.
