People who do not succeed have one distinguishing trait in common. They know all the reasons for failure and have what they believe to sir-tight alibis to explain away their own lack of achievement.
-
If only I had time…
-
If times were better…
-
If other people understood…
-
If conditions around me were only different…
-
If I could live my life over again…
-
If I did not fear what "They" would say…
-
If I had been given a chance…
-
If I were only younger…
-
If I had the talent that some people have…
-
If I dared assert myself…
-
If only I had someone to help me…
-
If I could just get started…
-
If my talents were known…
-
If I could just get a "break"…
-
If I didn't have so many worries…
-
If I were sure of myself…
-
If luck were not against me…
-
If I didn't have to work so hard…
-
If I didn't have a past…
-
If other people would only listen to me…
-
If—and this is the greatest of them all—if I had the courage to see myself as I really am…
Building alibis with which to explain away failure is a national pastime. The habit is as old as the human race and is fatal to success!
