what excuse has kept you in the same place for too long?
DO THESE SOUND FAMILIAR? >>>>>>
Common Excuse Personas that we use to limit ourselves:
“I’m Not Good Enough” – The Impostor’s Favorite Tune
“This is Just Who I Am” – The Identity Trap
“It’s Too Late to Change” – The Resigned Historian
“I’m Too Busy” – Productivity as a Shield
“It’s Not My Job” – The Bystander’s Creed
“I Don’t Want to Fail” – The Safety Net of Inaction
“I Don’t Like Conflict” – Legacy vs. Likability
So many big dreams, career goals and ambitions are pushed to the back of our minds, never to be truly sought after because of all the “reasons” why we can’t.
Every excuse has a rhythm. A loop to keep us stuck.
We hold onto our familiar routines, old habits and predictable roles that keep us comfortable. That comfort breeds fear the moment change enters the picture. Fear triggers blame of others, circumstances, or ourselves. To avoid discomfort, we rationalize our decisions and identity.
And just like that, we’re back where we started, wondering why nothing’s changed.
