“There will always be a multitude of reasons why we will not win at life, business or sport. Each excuse is very valid and perfectly logical. If you accept these excuses, it will keep you where you are. It is hard to face your fears and apprehensions; people will understand and tell you not to worry. Your problem could be that you have no money, had a bad childhood, you’re a minority, you’re too short, too tall, too young, too old…… the list is truly endless. We all have fears and perfect excuses why we cannot do something. Remember the successful person is not successful because they have no fears, but because he/she acts despite his fears or supposed limitations. So what is holding you back from moving forward in your goals? What is the excuse or the fear? Bring it out and face it. If you decide to run from it, it will persist until you deal with it. Write it down. Make it clear and acknowledge it. Realize that others have achieved success that started out in far worse situations than yours. Go for it. You will realize that the difference it takes to win is within you. One last thing – I want you to realize that regardless of what stage of life you’re in, there is tremendous untapped power within you to do wondrous and amazing things. Challenge yourself and say ‘I will move forward despite this adversity or obstacle and I will do whatever it takes to win.’ Make it a great day…” -Nick Ugoalah
