“Managing excuses means not excusing yourself from the responsibility you need to take with your thought, words, and actions.”

“I have been thinking about the idea of excuses for some time now. They are like menacing demons that creep into our lives without us knowing. They are roadblocks, white lies to ourselves, a reason to set the bar lower, and self-justification for achieving less than our full potential.”

“An aspirational diet will have you dreaming of success; but it’s the attachment of expectations and tangible goals that feeds the desire, persistence, and fortitude required to make the win.”

“You must be grounded to take flight.”

“When we watch pro golfers, we expect them to play well, to make the shots we know we can’t, and to be entertaining. Their expectation, however, is very different. They expect to succeed!”

“Core passions and aspirations should be consistent and in sync.”

“When aspirations are perceived to be achievable, ambition and drive can erase excuses.”

“People rise to the occasion without hesitation when they feel inspired and challenged.”

“People aspire, learn, and grow when they are ready to commit to the process.”

“The promise of aspiration is that it is evolutionary. The human condition is such that we are always aspiring to be something more, something better, something nobler. It starts as a thought, a want, a need, or a desire and then grows and evolves with intention and direction, upward with lust and hunger. The continued drive feeds the rise.”

“Live in the present, but live for the future.”

“The limitless mind lets us dream and examine and explore. It opens us up to opportunity. We come up with a desire, a clear, fresh perspective, and a potential goal to observe from afar. And we wonder, is this it, the right choice, the best choice to follow?”

“Don't make excuses for why you're not doing what you have already deemed critical to your success.”

“If you are afraid to fail, your successes will be few, common, and unmemorable.”

“Believe that your hard work, dedication and persistence will pay off; improve through continual learning and believe in your future.”

“Keep an open mind and know that you can always learn more.”

“Value the effort you put forward. Be determined, committed, and involved.”

“Think in terms of opportunities and solutions instead of problems, disappointment, and failure.”

“Your success is your responsibility. Take the initiative, do the work, and persist to the end.”

“Extend beyond your preconceived limits!”

“You become limitless when you overcome what holds you back.”

“How can you possibly do everything you want to do in life if you start doing a bunch of things twice?”

“Becoming limitless involves mental agility; the ability to quickly grasp and incorporate new ideas and concepts with confidence.”

“Successful continual learning means maintaining a balance and variety of success-oriented attributes, the most prominent being awareness, confidence, persistence, determination, courage, and focus. But curiosity, ingenuity, and creativity may be even more important as it is these traits that fuel the desire to continue to question and challenge the status quo.”

“If you are going to become limitless, you must summon the explorer within you.”

“Put some action on your good intentions!”

“The human mind and body are truly extraordinary. They are the quintessence of excellence in motion. We talk, touch, see, hear, taste, smell, and feel. We dream, aspire, and become. All that we are is mind and body and spirit—that is our universe.”

“Thinking there had to be a better way was a brilliant stroke of serendipity!”

“Awareness makes us emotionally brilliant!If you can honestly say that you are fully aware of what you’re up against in life, you are brilliant. Being aware means you are informed―alert, knowledgeable, sophisticated―and you have the tools to visualize, strategize, focus, and win.The more aware you are of life and its difficulties, of how people act and their effect on you, of your own quirks and how you handle both good and bad situations, the better off you are. But how many of us are that aware?”

“Kick the crutch out from under your excuses”

“The power behind taking responsibility for your actions lies in putting an end to negative thought patterns. You no longer dwell on what went wrong or focus on whom you are going to blame. You don't waste time building roadblocks to your success. Instead, you are set free and can now focus on succeeding.”

“Once you figure out what you want in life—expect nothing less.”

“Remove the temptation to settle for anything short of what you deserve.”

“Your desire to succeed must overpower your fear of failure!”

“When the awareness of what is achievable brushes your life, your journey has begun.”

“Extend your "best before" date by living a youthful life.”

“Needs cause motivation. Deep-rooted desires for esteem, affection, belonging, achievement, self-actualization, power, and control motivate us to push for what we want and need in our lives.”

“Sometimes not getting what you want is a brilliant stroke of luck.”

“No one will ever blame you for trying to get it right.”

“Successful people consistently put their best "self" forward.”

“Find your focus by seeking all that is good in your life.”

“The value of routine; trusting your swing.”

“The decide word is so powerful. It's amazing what you can do once you decide to do it.”

“It's sometimes easier to help others rather than helping yourself. The trick is to listen to your "self" as a friend. This may be the simplest change you ever make in life, with the biggest impact.”

“Upon achieving a lifelong dream, I thought, this is the way to live your life -- in the moment, and to the fullest.”

“To gain self-respect, you need to put yourself first.”

“No one can take the shot for you.”

“Awareness makes us emotionally brilliant.”

“When healthy competition prevails -- you come out to play and you play to win.”

“People learn when they are ready to learn. Are you ready?”
