“Making excuses is one of a host of self-defeating behaviours and mental patterns that can block your success.”

“The negative patterns that form as a result of this self defeating behaviour actually symbolize the negative belief that we nurture.”

“Stop validating your victim mentality. Shake off your self-defeating drama and embrace your innate ability to recover and achieve.”

“People who dismiss the unemployed and dependent as ‘parasites’ fail to understand economics and parasitism. A successful parasite is one that is not recognized by its host, one that can make its host work for it without appearing as a burden. Such is the ruling class in a capitalist society.”

“Don’t let mental blocks control you. Set yourself free. Confront your fear and turn the mental blocks into building blocks.”

“The difference between stepping stones and stumbling blocks is not in the event itself but how you think about it and what you do after it. Every failure and setback can become part of your success or an excuse for quitting or failing. People who develop the discipline of positivity are both happier and more successful.”
