beside every meaningful + purposeful action lies a believable + sensible excuse.
both are legit in your eyes, both originate from you, + both are available for you to choose today + all days beyond.
choosing one over the other can truly change the course of your life.
depending on what you choose, you can experience a fulfilling + rich life full of purpose, passion, + possibility.
you can also choose to experience a life that fits within the confines of your comfortability, that lacks challenge + character building, + dismisses your calling altogether.
sometimes, we are unaware of how strong willed we have become in avoiding the work + of how deceivingly pleasant our excuses truly are at attracting us to a lifestyle ruled by self imposed limitations.
fortunately, there is a way to circumvent constantly choosing your excuses + to actively avoid staying stuck in a cycle that no longer serves you.
for every excuse you manufacture, remember your reason “why” it can be done.
dig deep inside yourself, you know the place where purpose + passion reside, + bring out that fire, that drive, that inner-knowing that you’ve got this no matter what.
remember that your life’s story has a key writer — you — + that you are responsible for making sure the life you live reflects one that aligns with your inner most desires.
a dream delayed is not a dream denied.
it’s time to overwhelm your excuses with your reasons why you can, to no longer justify mediocrity, + to follow your heart + your dreams with purposeful pursuit.
talk yourself out of settling + into the freedom that is living, fam.
be you, be dope!
